Schusterstein Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The Schusterstein Tunnel was built between 1900 and 1902 during the construction of the Chemnitz Küchwald-Wechselburg railway line. It passes under part of the Schusterstein massif, which is responsible for the beautiful meander (loop) of the Chemnitz River. Today, with its bridge-tunnel-bridge combination, it is one of the most beautiful sections of the Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path following renovations from 2015 to 2016.

Auerswalder Mühlenkeller

Highlight • Restaurant

In laborious handwork, the innkeeper created from the dilapidated remains of the cellar of a former mill a small service for hikers and cyclists. In autumn 2017, a connection between Chemnitztalradweg and Auerwalde opened over 100 meters long suspension bridge across Chemnitz, which also opens up the small restaurant for cyclists and hikers.

Auerswalde Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Auerswalde suspension bridge was opened in autumn 2017. It connects the Chemnitztalradweg shortly after the Schusterstein tunnel with Auerswalde and the Auerswalder Mühlenkeller, which is right next to the bridge.

Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path Between Heinersdorf and Wittgensdorf

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The new section of the Chemnitz Valley Cycle Route now leads north to the Markersdorf Museum Station. Opened in December 2016, this section represents a significant enhancement to the scenic landscape. It also offers the opportunity to admire interesting engineering feats, such as bridges and a tunnel through the Schusterstein massif, dating back to the railway's construction period.
