Route description:

The cycle route "Blue Reiterlein" is the longest of the Reiterlein cycle tours. It runs mostly on paths away from public roads and is therefore particularly suitable for families. The starting point is Gessingplatz, but the entry point can be varied as desired. Via Blumenau, Kleinneuschönberg - past the "Old School" which is today's youth center Kleinneuschönberg - the tour leads to Hallbach and Hutha. From this height you have a wonderful view of Olbernhau and the Flöha Valley. The route then continues to Voigtsdorf and Wolfsgrund to the farthest point: Stockhausen. On the way back Dorfchemnitz, Friedebach and Sayda are passed. On the Old Heidersdorf Road, past the Maschine and Relhök, we reach the Hand crossroads. Going downhill into the Flöha Valley the Gnade Gottes adit is passed and Olbernhau is reached.
