Johanngeorgenstadt Giant Pyramid

Highlight • Monument

Johanngeorgenstädter Schwibbogenfest on December 13, 2014, the new large pyramid was inaugurated and set in motion for the first time.

With the claim to create a new quality of an outdoor pyramid, the construction has been prepared for more than a year and thought has been given to design, form and layout. On August 27, 2014 the groundbreaking ceremony began to build the largest pyramid in the Ore Mountains.

With a height of over 26 m and a wingspan of 11 m, this giant made of concrete and stainless steel is looking for competition worldwide.

The new attraction, like the giant flying arch, was donated by the Johanngeorgenstadt entrepreneur Siegfried Ott.

Johanngeorgenstadt Horse Whim

Highlight • Historical Site

Horse-drawn sledges have been mining ore and stone in the Ore Mountains for centuries. Three such systems were built in Johanngeorgenstadt between 1721 and 1806, including the sledge of the "Neu Leipziger Glück Fundgrube" in 1798. After a restoration in 1921, it became a technical monument, was demolished in 1948, and rebuilt as a museum in 1993.

Kleiner Kranichsee (Raised Bog)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The small detour from the way is worth a lot. About established ways to get directly into the moor. The lookout tower provides a good all-round view.
