If you're traveling through the Erzgebirge mountains in Germany I would recommend coming to this…read morecity. It's beautiful buildings and churches and how small the Market place, it gives you a sense of the true Christmas spirit. Unfortunately when I visited there was no snow on the ground but I have seen pictures of what the city looks like with snow and it just glistens, sparkles with lights, sounds and smells of Christmas! You'll find a lot of handcrafted items during the Christmas market such as wooden carved smokers, nutcrackers, light holders, tablecloth's and lace items. If you're looking for that true ambience of Christmas and slow pace you've got to come to visit this city.
