요한게오르겐슈타트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

In the upper Steinbach Valley near Johanngeorgenstadt, the imposing Devil's Stones rise up to 35 meters high from the forest. The rounded granite rocks were formed by natural weathering and are now a popular destination for hikers and climbers. A nature trail leads past them and offers fascinating information about the region's geology and wildlife. The surrounding area is tranquil, well-developed, and ideal for a family-friendly hike. A true highlight in the Ore Mountains – mystical, striking, and steeped in history.

The Wolfspinge is a collapsed historic ore mine just below the summit of the Plattenberg. A fascinating geo- and biotope (together with the neighboring Eispinge)

☆ The construction time is remarkable... 👍

The largest waterfall in Saxony and one of the highest German waterfalls outside the Alps is located in the immediate vicinity of Blauenthal. This former site of a flour and board mill was bought by Andreas Blau around 1530 and converted into a hammer mill. After the First World War, the owner of the paper factory had a new ditch dug above a steep rock face in order to use the water to drive his turbines. On Sundays and public holidays, the machines stood still and the water rushed down into the valley.

Very nice dam with a lot of information and a stamp box.

The Carlsfeld Dam is located on the ridge of the Ore Mountains at a height of around 905 meters above sea level. This makes it the highest drinking water dam in Germany. Its catchment area extends into the Vogtland and the Czech Republic. The Carlsfeld Dam is sometimes also called the "Wilzsch Dam" or "Weiterwiese Dam". The first name refers to the Wilzsch River, whose water it dams. Weiterswiese was the name of a small forest settlement that had to make way for the dam to be built.
