The Lorelei is a rocky promontory high above a small meander of Chemnitz near the Amselgrund. Through this loop in the Chemnitz two railway bridges and now also two cycle bridges were necessary in succession, which can be seen well from the view. Unfortunately, the Lorelei is not secured by railings, a bank is also missing.

Lorelei vantage point with a view of the Chemnitz valley. Be careful, there is no cordon.

Hiking

Chemnitz in the Swiss Valley is truly bizarre and impressive, especially between Markersdorf and Dietensdorf. A visit to this region is also worthwhile for its historical and industrial heritage.
