A circular route through the wonderful landscape in the Zschopau valley takes you past interesting points such as the Bodemerkanzel and the Stülpnerbrunnen fountain.
The circular walk is marked in yellow and starts at the Steinbogenbrücke bridge. From here, the signs lead towards Wildeck Castle, the historic old town and the Bodemerkanzel, which is a popular vantage point high above the Zschopau. A pleasant path along the edge of the forest leads to the turn-off to the "Via Mala". This initially wide path becomes increasingly narrow and rocky, sometimes exposed, and winds its way down into the wild and romantic Zschopau valley. Along the idyllic riverside path, the route follows the river back to the starting point, with the historic Stülpnerbrunnen fountain, the weir at the "Bodemerwehr" and the crossing of the imposing B174 viaduct as striking landmarks. After passing the former Bodemer spinning mill, the Bodemer manor house and the baroque coach house with its beautiful Renaissance portal are a feast for the eyes.

Roadbook
We start at the "Zschaap mei Geeß" bridge memorial on the corner of Lange Straße and Bahnhofstraße in the direction of Wildeck Castle. At the end of the Zschopau bridge, turn left towards the castle. Cross the castle parking lot via the narrow Pfarrgässchen to the church of St. Martin. Take the stairs next to the church to get to Johannisstraße. Follow Wiesenstraße straight ahead and keep left at the fork (Bergstraße). Follow the signs via Feldgasse to Bodemersiedlung. At the end of this road, take the steps, cross Thumer Straße and follow the forest path. Immediately after the wooden bridge, turn right and follow the path under the B174 bridge until you reach the Bodemerkanzel viewing point via the hiking trail. The view extends over the river and the town of Zschopau, over the former DKW-MZ factory and the former cotton mill. The B174 bridge you can see has a span of 407m. Follow the path at the edge of the forest along the field and turn left into the forest after a few minutes' walk. Follow the forest path to the end. Turn left, follow the waterway and pass the Stülpnerbrunnen fountain until you reach a wooden footbridge over the Zschopau. Cross the wooden bridge and follow the path across the industrial estate to Spinnereistraße. Follow Spinnereistraße back to the Zschopau bridge and the "Zschaap mei Geeß" bridge memorial.
