    Super tolle Runde mit interessanten Infotafeln, v.a. auch für Kids. Haben am Rastplatz Davidschachthalde ein Picknick gemacht und die Aussicht genossen.

    Eine sehr schöne und vor allem lehrreiche Runde durch das südliche Freiberger Bergbaurevier. Die gelieferte gpx ist vor allem in der "alten Dynamit" wichtig, andernfalls verirrt man sich dort ;)

    Super Runde 👌 Das einzigste Problem ist, dass die Brücke (Fußgängerbrücke) über die Mulde gesperrt ist. (schon seit 2 Jahren) Alternative Route ist aber möglich

    Schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour durchs Erzgebirge! Vom Start bis bis Falkenberg ein Mix aus Strasse, Feld- und Waldwegen und ein paar Wanderwege. Einfach zu fahren. Ab Rückkehr nach Falkenberg bis zurück zum Startpunkt fast Singletrail pur, teils sehr eng, hier und da ein paar Wurzeln und Felsen. Hier sollte man schon sicher im Sattel sitzen. Ab Naundorf kann man z.B. auch durch Strasse Rosental (Richtung Falkenberg) abkürzen. Insgesamt 53 km und einige Höhenmeter sind konditionell schon fordernd.
