아주 멋진 전망

With every step, closer to the summit – the Fichtelberg climb on the Stoneman Miriquidi Road. From the intersection, it's not far anymore, and motivation gets a final boost.

... lost places, which reminds of earlier history

Depending on your speed, you'll get a proper thigh alert and the Griffin Stones as a reward

The 🟣 PURPLE PATH 🟣 is a sculpture trail that connects Chemnitz, the 2025 Capital of Culture, with 38 towns and cities in the region. Numerous artists have contributed works of various kinds, telling an unknown story of the region. More information at https://chemnitz2025.de/purple-path/ Michael Sailsdorfer "Flow Equilibrium" at the Zschopau Bridge, Zschopau Material: stainless steel, mirror glass Size: 4.50 m, mirror 1.0 m "An angled steel tube structure holds a circular mirror above the river. Its convex surfaces reflect houses, trees, people, the sky, and the flowing water. In the mirror image, the surroundings appear distorted and, depending on the viewing position and the lighting conditions, add a retrospective view to the view of the river and cityscape, which fixes the wandering eye perception in the circle of reflection." Sailstorfer's work is entirely focused on the location of its installation on the banks of the Zschopau River, on optical phenomena and the narrated history of the old salt road and the former motorcycle town, which becomes visible in a section at the moment of observation. With the title "Flow Equilibrium," the sculptor, born in 1979 and now living in Berlin, refers to the work's context. and object artist, on the natural law that there is always the same amount flowing into a system as there is flowing out. He applies this principle to the order of the urban landscape. The side mirrors of legendary motorcycle models, which were produced at the MZ motorcycle factory in Zschopau until 2009 and exported all over the world, inspired Sailstorfer to create his sculpture. Even though motorcycles are no longer built in Zschopau, the myth of the MZ TS and MZ ETZ lives on, designed in the 1980s by, among others, Chemnitz designer Karl Clauss Dietel. The listed building of the motorcycle factory was built around 1925 according to plans by the architect Willy Schönefeld in the New Building style. Thus, the viewer of Sailstorfer's sculpture, opposite and below Salzbrücke, reflects on the history of the salt road that emerged in the Middle Ages, the motorcycle construction and its DKV brand developed by the Danish engineer Rasmussen from 1903 onwards, as well as the rise and fall of the MZ brand. And yet, Sailstorfer's work "Flow equilibrium" leads to a good future: the amount of energy remains constant, and everything that flows out grows back in smoothly."

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

With the site-specific sculpture "Flow Equilibrium," Michael Sailstorfer draws on Zschopau's history while simultaneously pointing toward the future: The approximately 4.5-meter-high sculpture, modeled after a motorcycle side mirror, will be placed on the northern bank of the Zschopau River, from where it will extend outward toward the river. Two mirrors, each one meter in diameter, are mounted at the end of the stainless steel structure, which protrudes from the embankment. The convex, outward-curving mirrors point both toward and against the river's current. The artwork will be positioned so that it will be clearly visible from both the bank and the bridge. The title "Flow Equilibrium" originally comes from biology and describes a state in which, for example, a cell maintains a balance between the inflowing and outflowing substances. "Flow Equilibrium" alludes to both the Zschopau River flowing beneath the sculpture and the flow of time. Both levels of meaning are embodied in the sculpture's mirrors, which point upstream and downstream. https://www.zschopau.de/aktuelles/purple-path-michael-sailstorfer-fliessgleichgewicht-zschopau-wird-im-august-eingeweiht
