Portal of Quiet Nature Enjoyment, in Grünfelder Park in Waldenburg. Information: Renaissance portal made of red sandstone, originally from Waldenburg Castle, which burned down in 1619. It bears an inscription from the park's founding: "To Quiet Nature Enjoyment." It was initially displayed as a ruin and received its current appearance after renovations in 1844.

In 1904/05, Otto Werner transformed the approximately 30-meter-wide strip of land adjacent to the small pond, which had been owned by Messrs. Salzer, Herfurth, and Krumbiegel, into a rose garden, and the area from Metzer Straße (today: Heinrich-Lorenz-Straße) to Händelstraße into a narrow promenade. https://www.sachses-ruh.de/wir-über-uns/stadtpark/

Chemnitz Rose Garden. A profusion of roses as far as the eye can see. Information: The so-called Rose Garden was laid out in 1904/05 – a strictly geometrically designed garden with symmetrical paths, flowerbeds, and pavilions. The design was based on classical garden motifs, with a focus on a diverse and colorful collection of roses. It stands as an exemplary example of civic patronage in a rapidly developing industrial city.

The Karl May Cave, also known as the Little Iron Cave, is located in the Waldenburg Upper Forest near Hohenstein-Ernstthal. Originally a mine tunnel dating back to 1620, it was later used as a shelter. In 1869, Karl May hid here when he was wanted for theft. Five years later, he mentioned the cave in his story "The Rose of Ernstthal." It was officially named after him in 1933. During the GDR era, it was closed to the public. Today, however, it can be easily visited again and serves as a reminder of the famous author.

The Stollberg Dam (also called the Querenbach Dam or Querenbach Dam) was built between 1949 and 1954 in the Ore Mountains near Stollberg. The Querenbach Dam supplies Stollberg in Saxony and its surroundings with drinking water and provides flood protection. The water is extracted via a so-called extraction tower in the reservoir.

Very beautifully laid out rose garden. It is regularly maintained and when the roses are in season you can admire lots of roses in all sorts of colors. There are also benches which are great for a rest but it is best to always have a sun hat with you as everything there is in the blazing sunshine.

Nice destination, above Grüna.

Right on the cycle path on the Chemnitz.
