Johanngeorgenstadt Youth Hostel lies in the heart of the western Ore Mountains between the Auersberg and the Plattenberg. The mountain town itself is one of the most popular state-recognised health resorts in Saxony, and a cradle of traditional winter sports. Here guests are presented with a whole world of mountain activities. The offer ranges from scrambling through mines and climbing to snowshoe trekking and defeating the challenging climbing wall.
