In the Forest
The forest always offers fascinating plays of light. Today, I was in the Annaberg-Buchholz area for a book project.
Annaberg-Buchholz
Around Frohnau
The small village of Frohnau is located right next to Annaberg-Buchholz. Numerous hiking trails around the village offer the opportunity to explore the region’s mining history. The scenic beauty of the trails is also a delight.
Rustic Pöhlberg Landscape
The 832-meter-high Pöhlberg near Annaberg-Buchholz is always worth a visit. Especially on hot summer days, the forest provides cool respite. The rustic landscape is enchanting.
The Devil’s Chair in Buchholz
The Devil’s Chair consists of several rocks located north of Buchholz. Visitors are treated to a spectacular view of the Annaberg district, with St. Anne’s Church and Pöhlberg. A hiking trail runs along the Devil’s Chair. This viewpoint is relatively unknown and not heavily visited, making a trip or hike in the area definitely worthwhile.
Hike on Pöhlberg

Balcony of the Erzgebirge
The middle circular path of the 832-meter-high Pöhlberg is not without reason called the balcony of the Erzgebirge. On many days, you have a wonderful view of the mountains of the region.
The Pöhlberg Welcomes Hikers
The 832-meter-high Pöhlberg at the foot of the mountain town Annaberg-Buchholz is clearly visible from many directions. For those hiking in the Annaberg-Buchholz area, it can serve as a great natural landmark. Alongside Bärenstein and Scheibenberg, it is one of the three table mountains in the region. We will soon present the hiking area around … Read more
