This image shows a winter view of the church in
Seiffen, Germany. This little town is loacted in Erzgebirgskreis, sharing a
border with the Czech Republic. This town is famous for their Crhistmas goods
and traditions, and is known all over the world for their wooden toy making
industry. Apart from the Christmas figures, they are also famous for their
‘’Smoking man’’/manking toys, which represent the varied occupations of the
people from the past hundred years. They also have a wonderful museum displaying
the history of their toy making industry, which started after the decline of
the mining around the 17th century. Also, the town has a school of
toy making. I would love to visit this lovely little wonderland someday.
