Wolfersgrün Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Unfortunately, no one cares about the formerly beautiful circuit. Meanwhile, this is even locked and you have to make your own way through the undergrowth. Too bad, but the more you do, the sooner a new path will emerge.

Quarksteine Rocks and Legend Trail

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Crinitzer water has to be crossed by a ford between the quark stones and the Wolfersgrün dam. There is no bridge. So shoes off and through!

November 8, 2025,Natur pur, selbst bei trübem Wetter

The hike started at the free parking lot near the Quarksteine (quark stones). The route followed the Crinitz stream to the Wolfersgrün reservoir and continued past a few fish ponds to the Borberg hill with its tower and inn. From there, the trail led past the Pohlteichschänke restaurant to the small Filzteich pond. Despite the lack of sunshine, it was …

March 24, 2022,Talsperre Wolfersgrün Quarksteinrunde von Kirchberg

We started in Bahnhofstrasse Kirchberg near the old train station.
A short walk through the village and then immerse yourself in nature.
The Crinitztal and the nature reserve Quarksteine is beautiful and natural.
Always near a creek or ponds.

The quark stones themselves, well I expected more. If you read the story you will understand better.
But the hike is …

Not everything is necessarily recommended for hiking, as someone has already hiked cross-country. From the dam it is better to turn left.

Nice tour, only crossing the stream (picture 15) wasn't so good, which meant taking off your shoes and wading through.

April 27, 2024,Durch das Gebiet "Crinitzwasser" mit Talsperre Wolfersgrün und Borberg

Sunny round trip through a beautiful valley along the Crinitzer Bach to the Wolfersgrün dam. The tour was recommended by Komoot. I had mistakenly chosen the right side of the stream, the left side would have been better. That is definitely without the fallen trees, which I didn't photograph all of here. 😆
Then on to the small Filzteich with …

... and to the Quarksteine.

There is a small car park near the town of Niedercrinitz and the Quarksteine.

From there we walked a little way up the narrow country road, turned left into the forest and had already reached the small Filzteich.

The water is currently being drained, so it is not quite full at the moment.

March 15, 2024,🌱🌈 Nachmittagsringel zwischen Crinitztal und Borberg

Today a little Friday afternoon tour through the Crinitztal. We passed the quark stones towards the Wolfersgrün dam. From there we continued up the Borberg and down again, along the Filzteich and back to the starting point along the picturesque Crinitzer Wasser. The unexpectedly refreshing drizzle from above turned into rainbows and sunshine along the way. Absolutely magical. 💚🌈
