Porphyry Educational Trail Rochlitzer Berg

Highlight • Trail

The Rochlitzer porphyry, which characterizes the entire region, is unmistakable for the Rochlitzer Berg.
In order to illustrate to all interested parties the importance of the rock, which is known far beyond the region, its formation and history, a porphyry educational trail of around 2.7 km in length invites you to hike on the Rochlitzer Berg.

Hermitage on Rochlitz Hill

Highlight • Historical Site

The hermitage on the Rochlitzer Berg was built in 1817 by Christian Gottlob Seidel, a quarry owner. Two rocks were connected by a wall, creating a small, chapel-like building. In the Romantic period, this place attracted many hikers and still serves as an idyllic rest stop today.

Königshöhe Monument

Highlight • Monument

Königshöhe is a small hill climb that's part of the Porphyry Leerpfad trail. Trees are relatively tall, and unfortunately, the view isn't very good.

Gleisberg Quarry Numbers Wall

Highlight • Climb

The track quarry bears witness to the hard work in the quarry. But it also gives a glimpse of the unmistakable color of the Rochlitz porphyry, which is still quarried a short distance away.
