The Karl May Cave, also known as the Little Iron Cave, is located in the Waldenburg Upper Forest near Hohenstein-Ernstthal. Originally a mine tunnel dating back to 1620, it was later used as a shelter. In 1869, Karl May hid here when he was wanted for theft. Five years later, he mentioned the cave in his story "The Rose of Ernstthal." It was officially named after him in 1933. During the GDR era, it was closed to the public. Today, however, it can be easily visited again and serves as a reminder of the famous author.

The region's numerous bridges are as typical as the Zwickauer Mulde. Whether made of stone or as a suspension bridge, they are essential for crossing the river.

The new, now barrier-free Cloud Castle suspension bridge was inaugurated on May 1, 2017. It replaces a narrower bridge that is not as high above the water, which was badly damaged during the 2013 flood. In addition to the Thierbach-Zinnberg suspension bridge, the bridge enables the Wolkenburg Mulderundweg and the hiking trail to the Hauboldfelsen from Wolkenburg Castle.

The circular route Rochsburg - Amerika with existing Mulden footbridges closes through the Mulde Bridge, so that a path near the Muldenufer south of the Mulde can be used in one direction and a hillside and panorama path north of the Mulde in the other direction. The Höllmühle can also be reached from America via the Mulde Bridge.
