And to almost seamlessly fuse the Ore Mountains Christmas traditions, mining history and handicrafts with young startups, smart business ideas, state-of-the-art industrial estates and confident marketing. Plus there’s the listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Very few positions are left vacant, and tourist numbers are growing by the year. The Ore Mountains are booming. Find out why here.
