Annaberg-Buchholz, District capital in Erzgebirgskreis, Germany.

Located at 635 meters elevation in the western Ore Mountains, Annaberg-Buchholz extends through forested hills near the Czech Republic border.

Silver deposits discovered in 1491 led Duke George of Saxony to establish Annaberg, while Annaberg and Buchholz merged into one municipality in 1945.

The Annaberger Kät folk festival brings residents together each summer, featuring traditional music, regional food specialties, and local craftwork exhibitions.

The regional transportation network connects Annaberg-Buchholz to major cities, with frequent bus services and train connections throughout the Erzgebirgskreis district.

St. Anne's Church stands as the largest late Gothic hall church in Saxony, featuring intricate stone masonry and architectural elements from the mining period.
