Cycle Path at the Northern Edge of Zeisigwald

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The path would be good if it didn't suddenly turn into a forest path. Which was then also completely destroyed by huge forestry vehicles. Doable with a gravel bike and …

"Life is like riding a bike, to keep your balance you have to keep moving"

Today it was supposed to be another little "trip" with the "Grande Dame".
The destination was the Flöha/- Zschopautal.
The weather was (still) dry, slightly cloudy ☀️-⛅️ and humid😓, not exactly ideal, 🤷 but what the heck,
Temperatures at 24°C, moderate SE wind, …

June 29, 2024,🇩🇪 Sternmühlental/ Flöhatal

The tour through the Sternmühlental was long overdue, as nature is still very intact there, I always wanted to go there!
The trip started via Frauenhofer Str. via Reichenhain, Kleinolbersdorf into the Sternmühlental with its original mill, then via Kunnersdorf into the Flöhatal to Flöha.
I passed Braunsdorf along the river, then Niederwiesa and the Zeisigwald area (former Soviet military …

Today October was "golden" again, 🌞 Temperature 24°C (in October !! ) - so nothing like getting on the bike in the afternoon ... a tour "with without" a lot of dirty, picked out from the Komoot fundus, small adjustment from Start/finish...and then we could get started...
Beautiful tour, not too long, with great weather... a lot of people (bicycles/hikers) …

This time, the route starts in the Chemnitz district of Adelsberg. Once you reach Altenhain, the route quickly climbs into the Sternmühlental valley, where you could cycle comfortably along a side road, if it weren't for those cars... ;-) From Kunnersdorf, the route continues along the Zschopautal cycle path to the valley station of the Augustusburg cable car, and then …

I can finally go again... 🚴‍
After the remnants of the viruses from the rest of the winter took their toll on me about 3 weeks ago 👨‍⚕💊 (and that despite the fact that I always go for flu shots 💉) my constitution is fit for cycling again. I took advantage of the nice weather 🌞 and immediately planned a …

July 28, 2026,🇩🇪 Flöha über Altenhain

A nice loop south/east of Chemnitz via the Stermühlental to Erdmannsdorf.
To get straight to the point, the singletrack between Erdmannsdorf and Flöha is a 5 out of 5, it's better to ride past the Erdmannsdorf outdoor swimming pool, the road there is well-developed!
Otherwise, the tour follows the Zschopau river for a while, which was very relaxing.
Past the …
