There are quite a few elevation gains to overcome on this loop, but the views are also fantastic, especially since the weather was perfect today. The green color is so intense right now, you can hardly get enough of it.
At the market in Waldheim, you'll find a delicious ice cream parlor.
The train journey from Chemnitz is quite quick, …

The high-altitude circular hiking trail has been on our list for a long time and an autumn Sunday with changeable weather somehow seemed like a good idea.
It started at the market square. There was no signpost that said high-altitude circular hiking trail... So we just set off over the Zschopau and then we realized that we had to keep …

We started at Waldheim train station. Then a bit through the town to Schillerhöhe and Carolahöhe, 232 steps down, through the scaffolding pillar bridge to the Heiligenborn viaduct, …

We had originally planned to go to Saxon Switzerland, but the bad weather forecast made us abandon that plan. But why travel so far when the good things are so close at hand? So today we set off with @Anna Bolika on the Waldheim hiking trail. Beautiful hiking trails and views of the town of Zschopau from all sides.

A beautiful tour over wooded heights with beautiful viewpoints - although some views have now become overgrown.
After the Diedenhain Viaduct the marking was missing and so we walked a bit in the wrong direction - but we noticed in time 😀 You should definitely get the key for the Wachberg tower beforehand.

Finally, today we managed to do this tour, my friends have already done it twice and I never had time.
The trees are still bare and the view of Waldheim and the surrounding area is clear. It was quite hazy, but you could still see everything. Beautiful route with plenty of opportunities to let the dogs drink in the water. …
