Johanngeorgenstadt Schwibbogen Festival with Mountain Parade

Johanngeorgenstadt Schwibbogen Festival with Mountain Parade invites you to experience the lively Ore Mountains tradition up close. Johanngeorgenstadt is known as the city of the Schwibbogen – featuring the largest free-standing Schwibbogen as an extraordinary symbol.

The festival brings to life centuries of mining history and demonstrates a strong connection to customs and culture. It's perfect for families who want to enjoy the festival as well as explore the region's wide range of recreational activities.

Here you'll find plenty of outdoor activities to join in: sports, hiking, mountain biking, or climbing. In winter, extensive cross-country ski trails, a double T-bar lift, and sledding hills offer ideal conditions for an active family outing.

The highlight is the world's largest Christmas pyramid, which brings the festive Ore Mountains atmosphere to life. The festival takes place regularly on Saturdays and Sundays outdoors.
