The Upper Forest Ring is the 3rd 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 2.5 kilometers, the Wiesenring can be walked in under an hour and can be perfectly combined with a visit to the Silber-Therme. After your hiking experience, you can round off the day in the restaurant at the Silber-Therme Warmbad spa. The Waldmühle hotel and restaurant can also be reached via a detour (Badstraße 18, 09429 Wolkenstein, telephone: 037369/1390).

The Obere Waldring is also a suitable Nordic walking and cycling route!

Directions

If you follow Lindenallee from the signpost at the guesthouse of the same name out of town, the hiking route continues to the left at the edge of the forest after around 200 m. Access to the spruce forest is via the second junction at the edge of the path. It is worth leaving the beautifully developed forest hiking trail with its hidden rock formations halfway along the trail to enjoy the romantic view from the approx. 30 m high Falkenhorstwand into the Zschopau valley to Floßplatz with the Warmbad train stop. However, as this detour can only be reached via rough and steeply sloping terrain, a descent should only be attempted by sure-footed hikers with sturdy footwear.
