Sports

Whether it’s summer or winter - the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) provide you with plenty of opportunities for your own sporting activities.

Any exercise is wholesome and keeps you fit, whether you practise it in one of the numerous sports clubs or on your own, e.g. Nordic Walking in the fresh air through the forests. There are so many sports clubs – handball, football, athletics, table tennis, gymnastics and even motor sports, climbing and martial arts – that everybody, from children to senior citizens, will find something appropriate.

Of course it is fun as well to watch the great stars of the arenas during their competitions. The tobogganists in Altenberg, the ski jumpers or mushers with their dog sledges in Kurort Oberwiesenthal, the biathletes, athletes, handball, football and volleyball players, swimmers or riders - all these and more will be happy to have your support on their way to winning that medal.

The Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) have long established their reputation as a winter sports area through the Olympic/national performance centre in Kurort Oberwiesenthal and Altenberg.
