Kammloipe in the Ore Mountains attracts cross-country skiers

Get on your skis and hit the trails: after the snow and frost of the past few days, cross-country skiers are now getting their money's worth in many places. The popular Erzgebirge/Vogtland ridge trail has been prepared for skiers, according to the responsible working group. The condition of the trails is good, but the snow cover is still very thin in some places. The snow depth ranges from ten centimetres in Grünbach and Muldenberg to 20 centimetres in Carlsfeld and Johanngeorgenstadt.

The ridge trail stretches for around 36 kilometers from the Vogtland into the Ore Mountains, with a number of connecting trails as access points. It runs along the Erzgebirge ridge from Johanngeorgenstadt to Schöneck and has been awarded the title "Excellent trail".

Several trails also open in the Osterzgebirge

Cross-country skiing fans can also hit the trails in the Osterzgebirge. According to the Altenberg tourist information office, several trails are open in the region - such as the ten-kilometre trail through the Kahleberg area and the Scharspitze and Wüster Teich circular trails.
