The Advent and Christmas season is something that people in the Ore Mountains region and our guests experience as particularly atmospheric. Centuries-old traditions, which were not least shaped by the unique Erzgebirge craftsmanship, have largely been preserved here.
Experience the best time of the year in our toy village Seiffen, whether by visiting the craftsmen who have continued their delicate work for several generations or by participating in the numerous events!
30 years Christmas in Seiffen
Get to know the place and its people with its traditional history and customs. We recommend a visit to our original Seiffen Christmas.
The more than 50 stalls lining the streets in the festively decorated town center, just like the numerous specialty shops, conjure up a unique Christmas atmosphere.
Christmas magic with tradition
Large snowflakes and illuminated windows will awaken childhood memories and turn Seiffen into a romantic Christmas village. Almost every window is illuminated, large pyramids turning outdoors, the whole place shines with lights and everywhere there is a smell of culinary delights from the Ore Mountains – this is the home of Christmas.
Follow the Christmas scent and enjoy the festive Advent mood that spreads through the village when the children’s costume group “Living Toys” and the Miner’s Parades march through Seiffen.

- Small Miner’s parade with opening event
