Comfortable bike ride under the protection of the forests to the fissures of the Weiße Göltzsch in Grünbach.

The simple circular route starts at the Meiler, passing the source of the Red Mulde. After crossing Muldenberger Street, the route turns right through the forest to Muldenberg. In the rafting village, the old road to Muldenberg station branches off to the left and is followed. Before the station, cycle about 200 m to the left towards Grünbach, then leave the road and turn into Fronweg Grünbach. Passing Grünbach station and the Druckersmühle rest area, you will shortly reach the fissures in the valley of the Weiße Göltzsch. In Hammerbrücke, continue towards Muldenberg, from where the route returns to Schöneck via the reservoir round path and Hämmerlingsweg, passing the Neuwald pond.
