Hotels in Zittau Mountains, Germany

The Zittau Mountains, located in the Saxony region of Germany near the borders with Poland and the Czech Republic, have a continental climate with mild summers averaging 68°F (20°C) and cold winters dropping to 28°F (-2°C). They're famous for dramatic sandstone rock formations and the historic Zittau narrow-gauge railway, so in summer you can hike or bike through the forested trails, while in winter you can try cross-country skiing or snowshoeing along the same paths. Best part? Spring and fall offer cooler temps and fewer crowds, perfect for climbing the Oybin ruins or taking the steam train up to the summit.
