  • Destination: Flöha
From the Erzgebirge ridge in Deutschgeorgenthal to the confluence of the Flöha into the Zschopau, the cycle path leads through one of the most beautiful valleys of the Erzgebirge. On a varied discovery route of over 70 km, you will experience pure mill romance, the Rauschenbach and Saidenbach reservoirs, as well as the centres of Erzgebirge woodcraft: Neuhausen, Seiffen, Olbernhau and Grünhainichen. The efforts of forested climbs, as a detour due to the too narrow river valley, are rewarded with wonderful views over the valley. The Flöhatal cycle path runs up to Heidersdorf simultaneously on the long-distance cycle route Saxon Central Uplands.
There is a connection to the source area of the Flöha with the Flaje reservoir in the Czech Republic.
