エルスニッツ/エルツゲビルグのバイクパーク・トップ18

The term singletrack refers to a trail that is so narrow that you cannot ride or run next to each other. It was initially used in mountain biking, but has recently also been used in trail running. Singletrails are usually around 30 to 60 cm wide. The term is also often used to describe a hiking trail that is used for mountain biking or trail running.

It was beautiful in the Pioneer Park area during GDR times. In the former “Blue Quarry” there was a fountain, plenty of seating and pleasant outdoor concerts. If something is happening here now, it will only be acoustic pollution. Not pretty, but so loud that you can still hear about it in Chemnitz!

Many sections have already been found between Chemnitz and Zwönitz. Unfortunately not always well signposted.

July 2023 The vegetation is limited this year and the trail is passable throughout. In 2-3 places you shouldn't overwhelm your guardian angel!

The Eisenweg is a high-altitude trail in the Erzgebirge, whose historical course follows the northern edge of the Erzgebirge. According to local history, it is said to have been used to transport iron ore from the area around Schneeberg as early as the Middle Ages. The course, which is still marked today, extends from Katzenstein near Affalter and runs through the Streitwald to Tabakstanne and further through the Citizens' Forest, past the Black Cross monument to Harthauer Berg, south of Chemnitz, on federal highway 95. Today the Eisenweg is a popular route for hikers and cyclists, connecting the area south of Chemnitz with the hiking trails of the central Ore Mountains.

Beautiful panorama from Cainsdorf to the VW plant in Mosel.

A steep climb, but also a wonderfully fast descent, at least if the chassis and tires can cope with the coarse gravel. And there is also a great view. 👌
