Directions

From Altenberg, the route continues along Dippoldiswalder Straße and Neustadtstraße toward Geisingberg. Passing the Altenberger Pinge and the mountain meadows, you’ll reach the 824-meter-high summit. Next to the mountain hut, the Louisenturm awaits you, offering a view of the Altenberg vacation region. You’ll then ride steeply downhill toward Geising. Passing the historic streets and the Hüttenteich natural swimming area, you’ll climb up to the Kohlhaukuppe (786 m)—known as the “Garlic Hill” because of the delicious garlic dishes served at the mountain hut. Along the German–Czech border (Sommerweg), you’ll ride toward Zinnwald-Georgenfeld and pass through the small mining village toward the “Lugsteine.” From there, Trail 30 leads you to the Kahleberg —at 905 m above sea level, the highest peak in the Eastern Ore Mountains. Here, too, you can stop for a break at the mountain hut. After a short break, continue on via the I-Flügel and the Alten Zaunhäuser Weg back to Altenberg.
