Eastern Ore Mountains herb tour

On this tour you need to have all your senses about you. There will be smelling, tasting, feeling and listening! First of all, two small packages on the seat reserved especially for you call for your attention. The small information pack about the Eastern Ore Mountains gets you visually in the mood for the herb tour. The snack pack fortifies you on the journey to Kipsdorf for the later tour and tasting at the „Altenberger Kräuterlikör“ distillery. In Kipsdorf you take your seat in the vintage bus and listen to the earthy stories of our herb woman. In the mountain town of Altenberg we reach the „Schnapsheini“ (schnapps man), as people like to say here. After visiting the distillery you sway along in the bus, with more anecdotes, to Zinnwald, where a hearty and sweet coffee break awaits you. Thus fortified, you set off in search of local herbs. Besides her big mouth and her thirst for knowledge in all walks of life, this is another speciality of our tour guide. You also visit the „Heimatstube Schellerhau“ with its local history museum and gallery. Until you reach the starting point of our day trip, you can sink once more into the comfortable seats of the vintage bus and let the eventful day pass in review.
