Railway Viaduct on the Chemnitztal Cycle Path

Highlight • Bridge

Railway viaduct in Chemnitz Furth, Now you dive through a railway viaduct that you think you're going to hit your head as you drive through.

The damage caused by the floods in the summer of 2013 was terrible. At that time, large parts of the Chemnitztal cycle path between the Fischweg bridge and Heinersdorfer Straße had to be repaired. The city of Chemnitz invested 195,000 euros for this renovation, and the work lasted from November 2014 to summer 2015.

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.

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.

Chemnitztal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The people of Chemnitz can be truly proud of their bike path: completely paved, with a roughly 30-meter-long tunnel through the rock, and at least one large bridge. What more could you want?
