Oederan is located at the foot of the Ore Mountains and thus offers an ideal starting point for hikes through the region's breathtaking landscape. But cyclists also get their money's worth here: Oederan's surroundings are known for their well-developed cycle paths along picturesque rivers such as the Zschopau or the Flöhatal.

Oederan's highlights are undoubtedly its historic buildings such as Rochsburg Castle or the Renaissance town hall. The local history museum also provides insights into the town's history. Those who prefer to deal with art should definitely visit the sculpture park - here you can admire contemporary works of art in the open air.

For culture enthusiasts, Oederan also has a lot to offer: The annual town festival attracts numerous visitors every year, while concerts are regularly held in the open-air swimming pool in summer. For gourmets, a detour to the local weekly market or to one of the many traditional restaurants is recommended - here you can enjoy regional specialities such as Oederan cheese or Erzgebirge schnitzel.

And what if it rains? No problem: there are numerous museums and exhibitions in the city that are well worth a visit. Alternatively, a relaxing day in one of the local wellness centres is a good idea - here you can pamper yourself with a massage or sauna.

Where is the nicest place to be in Oederan? That's hard to say, because every place has its own charm. However, a walk through the historic old town or a hike along the river offer unforgettable impressions of this idyllic region.

    Achtung: in Metzdorf die Bahngleise überqueren, in dem man an der Brücke geradeaus geht und dann die Heimstraße entlang läuft, bis es rechts wieder in den Wald geht. Die Route an der Flöha geht über das Gelände einer Gärtnerei, ggf. ist außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten das Tor geschlossen. Der Weg ist dann auch sehr zugewachsen, bis hin zur Unkenntlichkeit. Weiterhin ist der Übergang über die Schienen auch „Privat - nur für Berechtigte“. Insgesamt aber eine schöne Wanderung, vielen Dank für das Einstellen bei Outdoor active!

    Eine sehr schöne Tour mit grandioser Aussicht. Die Pfade entlang der Flöha zwischen Falkenau und Hetzdorf sind teilweise stark zugewachsen, aber dennoch zu finden.

    Eine schöne Runde durch das Tal der Lößnitz, leider keinerlei Einkehrmöglichkeiten. Lediglich zu den Oster- und Pfingstfeiertagen sowie zu Himmelfahrt gibt es eine Bewirtung am Hetzdorfer Viadukt durch den Brückenverein. Kurz vor dem Steinbruch "Mondscheinmühle" muss man den Weg rechts vom Bach gehen, da der linke Weg zugewachsen ist. Auch in Hohenfichte eine Änderung: Nach der Brücke am Sportplatz noch die Bahnschienen überqueren und dann rechts in die Heimstraße. Der Pfad zum Viadukt ist nach etwa 200m ausgeschildert.
