Rotes Wasser Stream Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This path littered with roots leads along a beautiful stream. There are plenty of blueberries here in late summer.

The dam of the reservoir was built in connection with the construction of the Röhrgraben (Röhr ditch) from 1396 to 1404.

It served as a reservoir for the Röhrgraben and the stamp mills located there.

This is where Station 16 of the mining trail is located.

Greifenbach Valley

Highlight • Gorge

A very nice shady valley. The path leads along the stream and is also suitable for bicycles. Along the way there are always information boards and one or the other attraction to the mining history of the valley.

Geyer Ski Jumping Complex

Highlight • Structure

Eric Frenzel made his first flights here, I always find it impressive when the athletes throw themselves from the jumps into the depths. Nice photo motif

The Röhrgraben (Silberstraße Mining Trail, Stop 4)

Highlight • Historical Site

The end of the 5.5 km long artificial ditch, which originated in Geyer. Over meadows and fields it is cased.
Until the decommissioning of the mining in 1990, the water of the Röhrgrabens was used as process water for the tin processing. He was considered the oldest working trench in Germany as a whole.

November 5, 2023,Greifensteine nach Ehrenfriedersdorf

Nice round in the Herzgebirge. First Greifensteine, then via the Waldgeisterweg to E-Dorf on Sauberg. Back down the Rohrengrabenweg in the light rain towards Greifenbachstauweiler. There were also stops at the Eric Frenzel ski jump and several mining objects.
There was a lot to see, even if the weather wasn't the best.

The third (and last for this year) time on the road on behalf of the Lord 😎🕶️. Tour test for the TVE.

The many "pointless" photos are for memory and documentation, some of them I'll delete again. The detour to the campsite snack bar was to refuel the tester 😁 and is not part of the tour (minus 1km).

Finally managed to walk the beautiful nature trail on my third attempt 😊

The "Silver Road" mining nature trail was created in the 1990s by the Greifenstein Area Association in one of the most beautiful and interesting areas in the Ore Mountains. 25 stations bear witness to at least 750 years of mining tradition in Ehrenfriedersdorf and the Greifenstein area. …

Today I hiked the mining trail in the Greifenstein area around Ehrenfriedersdorf. It was a wonderful, educational and informative hike in a beautiful landscape. There were also plenty of information boards. I might do this hike as a group hike sometime, but I'll have to think about it again. The weather was also perfect, the 🌞 even came out for …

September 20, 2023,Bergbaulehrpfad Ehrenfriedersdorf – Greifensteine

Ehrenfriedersdorf Mining Trail:
Well signposted, lots of information boards, also leads past the Greifenbachstauweiher and the Greifensteins, then identical to the Waldgeisterweg, many places to stop for refreshments (not quite as plentiful on Wednesdays on weekdays). You can definitely go. Open-air stage, of course now end of season, but July/August nice program for children and adults. We managed the feat …

March 12, 2025,Streckencheck Bergbaulehrpfad

Harald and I checked the route for April 12th today.
Thick fog in the Miriquidi and zero views. On the other hand, we hardly met anyone, and it was wonderfully quiet. Now all we need on April 12th is good weather and friendly hikers!

After the unpleasant events of yesterday, I start today with a powerful meditation and the intention that this day will be beautiful. Anyone who meditates regularly knows about its effects. And it actually happens that way.💛💫

Today I would like to hike the Silberstraße mining trail in the mining town of Ehrenfriedersdorf. My tour highlight will be an appointment with …
