High above the river, the castles and palaces in Schlettau, Wolkenstein, Scharfenstein, Zschopau, Augustusburg, Lichtenwalde, Sachsenburg, and Kriebstein invite you to take a detour. The bike path is continuously signposted for 82 km from the source of the Zschopau River to Flöha; beyond that, we recommend using a biking and hiking map.
