Trail to Plattenberg via Wolfschlucht

Highlight • Trail

In winter, or when the paths are icy and slippery, this railing is absolutely worth its weight in gold. It definitely gave me the security I needed when descending so I didn't slip.

Good example of historic tin ore mining in the Ore Mountains. The Pinge was created by mining the Wolfgang vein and smaller traverses.

June 15, 2025,Johanngeorgenstadt zum Plattenberg und zurück

Today I was out on one of my favorite routes again to break in my high heels. I started from Johanngeorgenstadt toward Plattenberg in beautiful sunny weather and returned in slightly worse weather.

June 25, 2022,🇨🇿 Laufkontrolle zum Eis ❄

Planned for a long time and completed today, the Eispinge am Plattenberg 🇨🇿. The arrival and departure to Johanngeorgenstadt was completely relaxing with the Erzgebirge railway 🚅, enough space for everyone, despite the 9 euro ticket. The ascent and descent on the Plattenberg felt like being on the Autobahn. I totally missed today's ERZ 50 hike 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶 in my planning …

March 2, 2025,Rundwanderung von Johanngeorgenstadt zum Blatensky vrch

Quite spontaneously, we took the train from Eilenburg to Johanngeorgenstadt early this morning and from there we walked to Plettenberg and back again. Perfect weather, pure sunshine and still snow. Beautiful paths, impressive landscape and lots of nice people. At Plettenberg we had delicious cocoa and a little refreshment. Many thanks to @sarah and @Willy for the lovely day.

October 3, 2025,Morgenerwachen auf dem Weg zum Plattenberg

Start early in the morning at the train station in Johanngeorgenstadt. Cross the border into the neighboring Czech Republic. Frost covers the meadows, wisps of mist rise, and the sun's rays bathe the forest in a mystical light. The trail leads steadily uphill to Plattenberg. Shortly before reaching the summit, it's worth taking a short detour along the ditch, which …

May 19, 2022,Eispinge – Wolfspinge Runde von Johanngeorgenstadt

We started today at the Johanngeorgenstadt train station.
It went straight to the Czech Republic.

After about 20 minutes we were in the forest and could enjoy the hike.

It was a leisurely climb up to the summit, and we stopped for a glass of champagne on the way. When we got to the top of the tower, we had …
