세마탈 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

frozen reservoir

I can highly recommend this area - it's so great, interesting and varied.

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 Bärenstein, the erosion remnant of a former lava flow, consists predominantly of basalt. The table mountain is 898 meters high. The summit trail leads to several worthwhile vantage points. From the summit cross, there is a beautiful view of the Cranzahl drinking water reservoir, which was commissioned in 1952.

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.
