Chemnitztal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The people of Chemnitz can be truly proud of their bike path: completely paved, with a roughly 30-meter-long tunnel through the rock, and at least one large bridge. What more could you want?

August 7, 2024,🇩🇪 Alpakaroute Köthensdorf

Finally, the alpaca group in Köthensdorf can be seen in their own territory again!

It is rare to see them with their young like this.

The walk to cool down was definitely worth it!

September 17, 2024,Nach dem Regen auf trocknen Wegen

Before my joints and my bike completely rust, I at least did one lap today on solid paths that were actually pretty dry.
But where Komoot gets the altitude from on this route will forever remain a mystery to me.

May 29, 2024,Chemnitztal - damit Rad und Beine nicht einrosten

How time flies - my last bike ride was two weeks ago. Today I had to do at least a short stretch, with a firm surface after all the rain. I pedalled a little faster (the racing cyclists will just grin wearily). 🤪

October 18, 2024,🇩🇪 Diethensdorf

Today the tour took us to Mohsdorf in the Chemnitz Valley via Markersdorf and Köthensdorf.
The autumn colours of the forests are in full swing.
A highly recommended tour👍.

May 26, 2024,🇩🇪 Schweizerthal mit Monolithen

A tour to Schweizerthal is a popular route among day trippers!

A modified route today led through Emil Mehner Park past beautiful flowering plants.

As heavy thunderstorms are expected from midday onwards, the tour had to be moved to the morning. A beautiful tour!

February 26, 2026,🇩🇪 Schweizerthal

Since not all bike paths have been cleared yet (mud and leaves), the first tour takes us to the Chemnitz Valley, more precisely, to Schweizerthal.

I actually spotted the first signs of spring!

January 27, 2024,Luft aufpumpen und losradeln

I actually ski at this time of year, but because the white surface is missing, I have to use the bike.
Despite the short and easy route, I can already tell that the last bike tour was in autumn.
