A symphony of nature
Green, creative and full of tunes – the Vogtland region in southwest Saxony has a long tradition of musical instrument making and to this day, you can see how violins, tubas or trombones are manufactured by hand. Another centuries-old tradition, that of lacemaking, has also survived in this part of Saxony: head to the small town of Plauen and visit the “Thread Factory” (Fabrik der Fäden) to learn all about the history of Vogtland textile industry and Plauen lace. Not enough, the region’s green forests and hills are perfect for hiking, cycling and mountain biking. And for relaxation and recharging, the spa towns of Bad Elster and Bad Brambach are just the ticket.
