Destination: Bike station Bikewelt Schöneck (Hohe Reuth car park)

Varied circular route through shady forests, past mysterious rocks to the mountain air spa of Grünbach. From here, it goes to Werda, from where a detour to the Geigenbach dam is highly recommended. Following the route, you pass the former Haselmühle quarry and shortly afterwards reach the town of Schöneck again.

Starting from Klingenthaler Straße, turn left into the Meiler area. Past the Mulde spring, the route follows the Muldenbrand path. Passing the Rehhübel and the Affensteine, you reach Grünbach, where you continue further into town via Poppengrün towards Bergen. About 2 km before the town entrance, turn left onto a small forest road towards Werda. From here, a detour to the Geigenbach dam is worthwhile. Then the circular route leads back from Werda through the forest to Schöneck.
