Seiffen, a small village in Saxony's Ore Mountains, is Germany's centre of wooden toy and Christmas decoration making — a tradition that grew from the region's mining heritage as silver and tin deposits declined. Nutcrackers, smoking men, Christmas pyramids, and Schwibbögen candle arches are all produced here. The village sits in mountain terrain with scenic viewpoints, and the wider Ore Mountains region holds UNESCO World Heritage recognition.
