In the valley of the Flöha to Olbernhau

An essential part of the route is the Flöhatal bike path. But the name part 'valley' should not be taken so literally, after all, we are in the Ore 'mountains'. There can also be climbs on a valley bike path. Up to Sorgau, in the village even a section with 13%. Once that is done and the pulse returns to normal, you can enjoy a wonderful view and look forward to a really nice, leisurely ride to Olbernhau. The Saigerhütte monument complex is a European uniqueness. From 1537 over 90 percent pure silver was separated from copper using the Saiger process. In the Arlitz forest up to Pfaffroda there is still a longer gentle climb, but that's essentially it. The church in Forchheim is definitely worth seeing. It was built in the shape of a Greek cross by George Bähr, the master builder of the Frauenkirche in Dresden, and can be considered a smaller model for it. Groups can book a guided tour (Tel. 037367/95 77), during which the Silbermann organ can also be heard.
