    The Bilz route offers all cyclists opportunities for activity – regardless of age or fitness level. The route is varied and uses paths and roads through towns and villages, passing many small treasures. Experienced cyclists can complete the full distance of 35 kilometers, while those who prefer a shorter route can use various – also signposted – alternative routes. Along the way, herb gardens invite discoveries, or you can try some healthy treats at the regional inns. Families are well catered for in the Köbe Nature Park in Penig, can explore Rochsburg Castle, or swim a few laps at the Taurastein sports center in Burgstädt.
