We start at the bottom of the Rödel valley at Landhof Hartmannsdorf in the direction of Hirschenstein to the Filzteich World Heritage Site in the Schneeberger-Neustädtler mining district. We walk through the Hartmannsdorf forest to the heath and moorland forest at the Filzteich pond with many rare animal and plant species and back.

The route is marked with the green dot hiking sign. Duration approx. 4:30h

The 4.5-hour tour takes us from the center of Hartmannsdorf via the Hartmannsdorf forest to the Filzteich pond with the KiEZ youth recreation center and the Fundora as well as the lido at the Filzteich pond. After the Filzteich pond, we cross the Schneeberg-Neustädtel mining nature trail. Here you can retrace the eventful history of the Filzteich pond as you walk past the spot where the dam of the Filzteich pond once burst and caused a devastating flood. We then reach the heath and moorland forest at Filzteich pond with the DBU nature heritage site. In addition to the spirke - the Erzgebirgszirbe - there are other rare plant and animal species to be seen here.

The last part of the hike leads along the Fürstenweg trail through the Wolfstal valley with Wolfsbach stream past the Hartmannsdorf outdoor pool and the Hotel Flechsig, which is an inviting place to stop for refreshments.
