    Railway romance in idyllic landscape.

    The Chemnitztal cycle route takes you directly from the city centre of Chemnitz into the wonderful nature of the Chemnitz valley. The approx. 24-kilometre route currently runs along the Chemnitz River as far as the Claußnitz district of Diethensdorf. Along the way, there are some witnesses to the former Chemnitztal railway to discover. A connection to Wechselburg and the Mulde cycle path is planned.

    The Chemnitztal cycle route is a section of the Mulde-Chemnitz-Middle Mountain cycle path.
