Around Marienberg and to the Drei-Brüder-Höhe on EB and E3.

We take a historical route to the diverse mountain town of Marienberg, which was built at a perfect right angle in the style of the Italian Renaissance. Founded in 1521, the town owes its origins to rich silver finds and was planned on the drawing board. The square layout, the regularity and the distribution of the buildings follow the principles of the ideal Renaissance town, which were applied here for the first time north of the Alps. On this tour, you will discover the town's history as well as fantastic panoramic views
