Trail Reviews

Heiko und Frodo
March 23, 2025, das Steinbachtal bei Johanngeorgenstadt

A beautiful tour in the Upper Ore Mountains. The "Steinbachtal" circular trail is well signposted. I didn't take it, of course, but instead took the much more interesting forest nature trail. The second part then leads through the forest on the Erzgebirge-Vogtland ridge trail. Not bad, but unfortunately—once again—the paths have been damaged by logging. The third part, in Johanngeorgenstadt, features a lot of mining and local history, as well as the "Zum Pferdegöbel" restaurant, which is open. It's actually a 5-star tour, but it loses some points due to the condition of the ridge trail section.
