Zwickau

Zwickau, located in the southwest of Saxony, is an ideal destination for anyone looking to combine a convertible tour with a journey through German automotive history. The city is considered the cradle of the Saxon vehicle industry and delights with its charming old town, historical highlights in technology, and scenic routes through the foothills of the Ore Mountains.

Driving a Convertible Through the Land of Engines and Music

Those driving a convertible in Zwickau will discover a region full of history and landscape diversity. Particularly beautiful is the route along the Zwickauer Mulde, which gently winds through valleys and forests. Small roads lead through villages with half-timbered houses, past meadows, old mills, and dreamy castle complexes.

A highly recommended route heads south through the Westerzgebirge. Here you can expect winding country roads, ridges with fantastic views, and charming places like Schneeberg or Bad Schlema. In an open car, the region unfolds especially intensively – with fresh forest air, panoramic views, and a pleasant mix of curves and straight stretches.

Zwickau – City of Cars, Music, and Culture

Zwickau is inextricably linked to automotive history. The August Horch Museum tells the story of Audi, Horch, and Trabant – right at the place where it all began. For technology and vintage car fans, it's a real highlight on any tour.

But Zwickau has even more to offer: As the birthplace of composer Robert Schumann, the city is also a cultural center with its own museum, concert offerings, and historical buildings such as the St. Mary's Cathedral. The old town, with its alleys, squares, and cafés, invites for a leisurely stroll – a beautiful contrast to the drive in the convertible through the open nature.

Zwickau – A Worthwhile Stop on Any Convertible Tour Through Saxony

Zwickau offers the perfect mix of technology, history, and landscape. Whether as a starting point for further tours into the Ore Mountains or as a destination for a Saxon circuit – the city is made for a relaxed yet eventful convertible tour in Central Germany. Those who enjoy combining culture, nature, and automotive passion will feel particularly at home here.
