The starting point is located in the Dörfelbach valley above the open-air and swimming pool of Olbernhau. Parking is available near the swimming pool. Set off on this beautiful short circular route through the forested nature, past the small Dörfelbach. The children will surely have fun there.

Directions

Over a stretch of about 5 km, the whole family can learn interesting things from nature and experience fun and games outdoors.     

The best starting point is the Gasthof Löser. You walk up the opposite Dörfelstraße. After crossing the railway line, turn left after about 200m, then immediately right into Bruchbergweg. Follow this path until the forest. Just after the Dörfelbach pond, turn right to the first station. But beware! To continue walking, you must return to the main path. Past the "Basteifelsen" and the Schaaldenkmal, it goes through the back of the forest to the Hammerweg/Königsweg intersection. Over the Rübenauer Weg, past the "Anton Günther Stein" and the ski hut, it continues over a meadow path downhill to Heidenweg. The tracks are not crossed; instead, you stay on the traffic-calmed street and continue until Dörfelweg. Here you turn left and arrive directly again at Gasthof Löser.

It is best to follow the Olbernauer Reiterlein.

If cows are grazing on the meadow, you must return to the "Knobelei" station. From there, a shortcut goes via the Extended Dörfelweg back to the starting point.
