Tips and suggestions
Detours to the Cigar and Local History Museum in Schöneck, the Freizeitgelände Haselmühle with playground or a visit to the castle gardens at the Rittergut Schilbach, especially during the rhododendron bloom in May, are well worth it. In the area of the IFA holiday park there are numerous leisure options such as climbing forest, adventure pool or bowling alley. You can also find the Schöneck bike world and the tourist information here.

Roadbook
We start our route at Albertplatz in Schöneck. Here is the Legend Fountain, which tells the story of the origin of Schöneck. Along the main street and through the residential area "Am Sohr" we leave the town heading towards Schilbach. At the "Freizeitgelände Haselmühle" you can make a short stop, swing a round on the playground, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet. We follow the green marking and walk over the somewhat outlying settlement Birkenhäuser, down into the Schöneck district of Schilbach. Along the old Eschenbacher Landstraße we leave Schilbach again and come back to Schöneck via the Bockmühle.
At the valley station of the 4-seater chairlift is our Kneipp foot pool, where you can refresh yourself wonderfully and your feet find a welcome cooling. At the "Hüttenwirt" you can have a hearty meal before you head up the last altitude meters back to Schöneck. The path leads directly to the area of the IFA holiday park and the Schöneck tourist information, as well as the stop of the Vogtlandbahn.
If you want to return to the start of the hike, you walk past the panoramic youth hostel newly opened in 2020, follow Klingenthaler Straße and are back at Albertplatz. Here the benches invite you to a small final rest. Or reward yourself with a nice piece of homemade cake in Ellie's coffee shop on the main street.
