Tour around Waldkirchen as a tour tester for the Erzgebirge tourism association. GPS route not quite OK, but everything is easy to find thanks to the signs. On short stretches in the forest there is also mud after forestry work. Beautiful viewpoints on the tour.

As a "base camp" you can use the beautifully located "Schlossblick" parking space in Witzschdorf as a motorhome driver. There are also other excursions to Grünhainichen (Wendt & Kühn) or Zschopau.

First tour of the season, took advantage of the weather. Yellow/white markings and signage for the circular hiking trail were present from start to finish 👍

On the road on behalf of the Lord, in this case the Erzgebirge Tourism Association. Another tour test. Easily doable tour.

I don't know if they're still looking for testers. If you have the time and the inclination, you can perhaps ask Ms. Borrmann.

July 11, 2025,Zschopautal, "Rundwanderweg Waldkirchen"

I'd had this tour on my mind for a while and had seen it on other Komoot users.

Starting at Waldkirchen train station. From here, the trail first goes to the other side of the Zschopau River and then, behind the Rolle Mill with its mill shop, continues uphill to the "Heidelberg," "Wildenstein," and "Hoher Stein" hills. There are always …

Sunny early spring tour with lots of benches with a great view of the Ore Mountains and the foothills, paths in pretty good condition (not much mud). But otherwise no major highlights. The Rollemühle on the Zschopau is only really open on Mill Day. There is no food on this tour, but there is a model railway shop open. You …

This tour was inspired by @Karin 🔆 and @Johannes 🥾🚴‍♂️, thanks.
However, you were there in January, so of course the area looked a little different. 🤪
Today I was able to easily use the Germany ticket again.

An amazingly good circular hike with fantastic panoramic views. To be honest, I hadn't expected anything like this around Waldkirchen. That's why I took the liberty of filming this hike, so that many more people can discover this beautiful route. If you'd like to see more beforehand, I recommend this
