Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

RADschlag

Sights:
- For those who don’t shy away from two short climbs at the beginning, the panoramic route is recommended as an alternative from Wolkenstein market
  to Niederau.
- The attractive spa park in Thermalbad Wiesenbad is located directly on the route.
- The main goal of this route is an impressive monument to the history of
  tin mining. Near the route, at Sauberg, is the
  visitor mine “Zinngrube Ehrenfriedersdorf” and the Mineralogical Museum.
  The name Seifental also points to the former extraction of tin ore by
  washing out.
- The route passes the planet trail. The detour to the observatory in Drebach is
  suitable for cycling.
