The challenging circular tour around Waldkirchen starts at the historic former blue dye works next to the Rolle mill. There are several climbs to conquer, which lead to great views over the Zschopau valley and thus reward hikers.

Marking: white-yellow-white

Our hike starts at the Rolle mill in the "Doktorhof" (former blue paint factory) in the direction of the serpentine to the Marbacherweg junction, the path leads uphill. Through the Mörbitz to the "Green Forest". On the way, a seating area invites you to take a break. We cross the road, approx. 200 m along the paved path in the direction of Marbach, then along the field path in the direction of Pfarrwald. Cross the Grünhainichen-Waldkirchen connecting road and walk into the forest in the direction of Börnichen. From the water reservoirs we walk to the windmill on the hill between Waldkirchen and Börnichen, continue down the valley to the Krumhermersdorf meadows, towards the Krumhermersdorf - Waldkirchen connecting road to the Waldkirchen village road and back to the starting point of the tour.
