Welcome protection
(Kopie 7)
In the Ore Mountains, "Hutzn" means to move together or sit together. This custom was once established by the miners' wives on winter evenings. Today, we simply understand "Hutzn" as a convivial get-together with friends or neighbors.
Our Welcome-Hutzn aims to bring newcomers to the Erzgebirge, returnees and those in love with the ERZ into contact with each other and thus help them to arrive, make connections and network. Whether coffee tasting or creative woodworking - the topics change just like the venues and offer plenty of inspiration to get into conversation quickly.
