ムルデンハンマーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

エルゼンフェルゼンは、顕著なグライワッケ石英岩の岩層の一部であり、有名なグリューンバッハの岩石道に、ヴェンデルシュタインやゲネーゼンシュタインなどの他の顕著な岩石とともに特徴を与えています。

元々は「Riß」（溝）と呼ばれ、高低差のある場所を木材を容易に運搬できるように、人の手によって岩盤に切り開かれたものです。何世紀にもわたり、水はGöltzschtalの岩盤の地面をますます深く侵食してきました。この最後の区間であるRiß滝は、周囲の森林景観に魅力的に溶け込んでいます。Riß滝は現在、一年を通してそれほど多くの水を流していません。しかし、大雨の後や雪解けの後には、特に美しく見ることができます。

Falkenstein–Muldenberg鉄道線のそばには、かつて鉄道員の家がありました。その係員は線路越えの安全を確保しなければなりませんでした。家はとうの昔に取り壊されましたが、その基礎はまだ見ることができます。木製の鉄道員、2つの標識、そして休憩用のベンチが、今もそれを偲ばせています。

美しい屋根付きの休憩所は、大きなハイキンググループにも十分なスペースがあります。その隣には、木から彫られた木製の玉座が個別の場所として立っています。

このルートは驚くべきことに19世紀にすでに建設されました。移行には踏切監視員が必要でした。こここの場所もそうです。基礎がそれを示しています

Beautifully situated with a rest area, from here you can continue your hikes in various directions. At the double bridge, a stone bridge dating back to the time of rafting, the Gahlenbach flows into the Rote Göltzsch. An idyllic reservoir lies above the Gahlenbach. The Rote Göltzsch flows towards Hohofen and flows into the Weiße Göltzsch at the exit of Ellefeld. In the 16th century, processes for the extraction and processing of metals gradually developed below the double bridge. Ore (red iron ore) around the Röthelstein was crushed and smelted in a specially built blast furnace. It was then processed in a stamp mill (hammer). The required blower was powered by water. A wire mill, where brass blanks were formed into coarse wire, also operated with the same power.

The idea of establishing a cultural center on this magnificent piece of land, sometimes referred to as "Auerbach Switzerland," dates back to the time before the Second World War. The tourist association, founded in 1930, wanted to build a new natural stage at Röthelstein, where performances by the Plauen City Theater had already taken place. A lack of funds and World War II prevented this. In the 1950s, the residents of the Beerheide community began building a new natural stage. Many hardworking hands—especially the singers of the Beerheide Men's Choir—worked for many years, creating a natural stage that attracts many local and hiking enthusiasts. Since 1953, the traditional Whitsun singing event, known far beyond the borders of the Vogtland region, has taken place at Röthelstein every Whitsun Sunday.
