A must for all visitors to the Ore Mountains. Simply a great circular route with the highlight Blockhausen. It's fantastic what you can create with wood and a chainsaw for works of art.

There is a nice playground for the kiddies.
Some areas are signposted with P16, but some are also appropriate.

First we went to the Saigerhütte Grünthal (Olbernhau), there it was still very quiet, apart from a few stalls and a chainsaw carver there was not much to see. My second stop was the old iron hammer in Dorfchemnitz near Sayda, …

Blockhausen in the Erzgebirge is unique, with over 100 fantastic wooden sculptures worked with a chainsaw.

International chainsaw carving competitions take place here every year and this is also where the longest table in the world is located.

So it's no wonder that the forest experience center located near Mulda and Dorfchemnitz is an absolute highlight and always well attended!
