  • the hunt - and passion Palace Augustusburg
    The place for the hunt and passion palace was well chosen on a 516-meter-high quartz porphyry hill over the Zschopautal. The building itself was built from 1568 to 1572. 400 years could do nothing to the monumental building and its charisma. Due to the location the palace is also called crone of the Erzgebirge. It is one of the prettiest renaissance palace in middle Europe.
    A lot of exhibitions can be found like the carriage museum, the hunt- and bird-lore museum, the palace dungeon or the legendary motorcycle museum.
  • Castle  Scharfenstein
    There aren’t lots of places where myth and magic of the Erzgebirge are so strong as on the castle Scharfenstein. Built around 1250 as the colonization took place due to the discovery of silver ore. The castle is one of the oldest in Saxony. For more than 750 years people live there which let to different building phases. For example, the castle tower was built around 1250 as well but the portal 400 years later.
