The circular hiking trail can be completed on foot, by bike or with a baby carriage. The view of the Eibenstock dam and the Auersberg at the Viechzig viewpoint is well worth seeing. Another view is right by the water on the dam wall. There is also a Kneipp basin and a cache round.

Kneipp facilities ... suitable for bicycles ...suitable for baby carriages ... great views ... refreshment stop ... Cacher loop

Whether on foot, by bike, with a baby carriage or wheelchair everything is possible...

(possibly at the sign "Ausblick Talsperre" there are roots on the path, so it is not suitable for wheelchair users. But you can try it, it's worth it)

Directions

Park in the parking lot at the cemetery, then walk through the village past the church (at the church tower on the right, the path leads to the inn). If you continue past the church, you will pass the 4 chestnut trees. At the next crossroads, turn left up the hill to Viechzig, keep left at the crossroads, past the Nadlerhaus to the last house on the road and then follow the path to the end. You have finally reached the viewpoint with a magnificent view of the Eibenstock and Auersberg valley barrier, also known as "Little Canada". On a good day, you can see the Keilberg and the Geyer transmitter tower. Of course you can also take a rest, there is a bench and a table. Then walk a few meters back past the Nadelhaus and turn left towards the forest at the crossroads by the Nadlerhaus. There are a few benches to rest on in the forest. To get a view towards the dam wall at water level, you have to walk down the path at the next signpost "Ausblick Talsperre" (be careful, there are roots on the path and you need a little stamina with a baby carriage), once there you can see the dam and its arms and the dam wall. Then it goes up the path again and right on a normal path out of the forest. After a few meters uphill to the Kneipanlage and meadow orchard. Here you can rest and dangle your feet in the water. After the break, continue along the path to the next crossroads. Turn left up the hill. When you reach the top of Lärchenstraße, you have a beautiful view of the Auersberg (there are also benches to rest on). Just a few meters back to the parking lot and you've completed the loop. Have fun hiking.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

A visit to the Eibenstock dam on the top of the wall is well worthwhile. There is the Marienweg, which starts at the same place. The town of Eibenstock is also worth a visit. There are several points of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Montanregion Erzgebirge / Krušnohoří" nearby

Safety guidelines

z. Between Lisbon and Porto, for example, the infrastructure is not yet so well developed. The stages from one accommodation to the next can therefore be long and adventurous.
