Medium-difficulty mountain bike tour over the Kahleberg.

From Altenberg, the route leads along scenic forest and woodland paths past the Georgenfelder Hochmoor, through the Erzgebirge villages of Rehefeld and Neuhermsdorf and up to the Kahleberg, the third highest mountain in Saxony. Challenging climbs, rapid descents and sweeping views over the low mountain range landscape make the route a real experience for ambitious cyclists.
