a very nice corner

The Cranzahl Dam was built between 1949 and 1952 near Sehmatal-Cranzahl and Bärenstein in the Ore Mountains to supply drinking water to Annaberg-Buchholz and the surrounding area. It was later expanded and renovated. Along with the Sosa Dam, it was one of the two major dam construction projects of the young GDR. Reflecting the spirit of the times, it was named the "Dam of Friendship" as a central youth project of the Free German Youth (FDJ). A memorial stone commemorates this. Many hiking trails lead through this area up to the Bärenstein, offering fantastic views of the Ore Mountains.

Mining began in Cunersdorf in the 16th century. Due to its high yields, the mine quickly gained renown. From 1536, a yield of 2,409 guilders per share was achieved within two and a quarter years. This was primarily due to a very rich silver ore vein with silver contents of up to 40%. However, yields declined again in the following years.[2] During the sinking of a pilot shaft, the year 1551 was discovered at a depth of more than 125 m.[3] The current entrance to the Dorothea adit was created in 1853.[4] Initially, only silver ores were mined; later, nickel, copper, uranium, and cobalt ores were added.[3] After the Second World War, in 1946/47, the SAG Wismut began searching for uranium in Annaberg-Buchholz, including in the Himmlisch Heer Dorothea mine. Uranium mining was short-lived and ended in 1958. Source: Wikipedia

... lost places, which reminds of earlier history

Generally speaking, it's a very nice and good bike path. However, from my own experience, a small warning: Approximately halfway through the section, the bike path crosses the main road. Coming from the south, the path is slightly downhill, and the crossing comes unexpectedly. Immediately before the road is a wooden bridge. In wet conditions and at higher speeds, braking on this... can be difficult.

Beautiful cycle path

Great for road cycling. Few cars and good road surfaces amidst plenty of forest.
