    On this varied 70-kilometer discovery tour, you’ll experience the charm of historic mills, the Rauschenbach and Saidenbach dams, and the centers of Erzgebirge woodcraft: Neuhausen, Seiffen, Olbernhau, and Grünhainichen. The effort required to climb the forested hills—a detour necessary because the river valley is too narrow—is rewarded with magnificent views across the valley. Don’t miss a detour to Augustusburg Castle—the crown jewel of the Ore Mountains.

    The Flöha Valley Bike Trail runs to Heidersdorf along the same route as the Saxon Low Mountains Long-Distance Bike Route. There is a connection to the headwaters of the Flöha River at the Fláje Reservoir in the Czech Republic.

    Route: Fláje Reservoir – Cesky Jiretin – Deutschgeorgental – Rauschenbach Reservoir – Neuhausen – Dittersbach – Heidersdorf – Eisenzeche – Olbernhau – Oberneuschönberg – Saigerhütte – Grünthal - Olbernhau - Bumenau - Wernsdorf - Saidenbach Dam - Rauenstein - Grünhainichen - Schellenberg - Hohenfichte - Falkenau - Flöha
