Forest-protected bike route starting at the roundabout at the IFA Holiday Park, passing the idyllic Neuwaldteich, which invites you to swim in summer. Over the fore-dam of the Muldenberg reservoir, it goes to the small mountain village of Kottenheide. From here we follow the Mühlweg down to Oberzwota, with magnificent views into the Zwota valley. The romantically wild Wolfsbachtal valley brings us back up to Schöneck.

A few meters after the Tannenhaus turnoff, on the road to Klingenthal, turn left onto the forest path. Past the Neuwaldteich, after a few kilometers you reach the fore-dams of the Muldenberg reservoir. Heading south, follow the Hämmerlingsweg to Kottenheide. After crossing the road, the route leads along the Mühlweg through the forest down to Oberzwota. Here you can enjoy magnificent views into the Zwota valley and over the Vogtland region.

At the crossroads, there are connection options to mountain bike trails of various difficulty levels. Through the romantically wild Wolfsbachtal valley, you finally reach back to the starting point at the Tannenhaus in Schöneck.
