댐 크란잘 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

frozen reservoir

Beautiful views of the Ore Mountains mining region with many impressive vistas of the surrounding mountains. There are plenty of benches at the summit, perfect for resting and taking a break.

The steep ascent lives up to its name. Good footwear, outdoor clothing, and sure footing are absolutely essential on this natural and densely overgrown trail.

The town of Cranzahl in the Sehmatal, with a population of 2,000, is primarily known for its dam. It was built between 1949 and 1952 to supply Annaberg-Buchholz and the surrounding area with drinking water.

This trail up the 898-meter-high Bärenstein is steep and strenuous, but rewarding. At the end of the steep climb, you'll find yourself directly at the summit cross.

The local chronicler's bench below the Bärenstein summit cross offers a beautiful, albeit constantly overgrown, view of the Ore Mountains landscape.

Since April 2025, a wooden sculpture of a mother bear with a cub has stood tall on the Bärenstein mountain, right next to the mountain hotel. The sculptures were created by the Mildenau-based company Weinis Holzart, which specializes in creative wood art.

Parking lot not far from the dam.
