The small Brandring is the 5th of the 9 hiking trails in Warmbad Wolkenstein's network of terrain trails.

The terrain cure trails are suitable for both experienced hikers and beginners. All terrain cure trails have the same starting and finishing point: the spa park in the Warmbad spa. At 2.1 kilometers, the small Brandring is one of the shorter terrain cure trails and can be walked in under an hour.

After the hiking experience, you can enjoy the end of the day in the restaurant of the Silber-Therme.

Directions

The route of the small Brandring follows the trail of its "big brother", starting at the information board between the Knappschaftsklinik and the Pawlow Hotel via Lindenallee to the north into the Brandwald area - partly over open terrain along meadows and fields, but mainly through the idyllic Erzgebirge forest. There is only one noticeable difference in altitude along the entire route. If you walk the small Brandring in an anti-clockwise direction, you save yourself the strenuous ascent. Please note that this - after leaving the large Brandring - leads over partly rough and unsurfaced terrain and requires a certain degree of surefootedness. Back on the tracks of the large fire ring, the remaining part of the route runs along well-maintained hiking trails back to the starting point without any serious inclines.
