The tour starts in Schöneck, the highest town in the Vogtland district. First, the trail leads up to 784 meters above sea level, before winding its way into the Auer valley basin. Along the entire section, there are repeated opportunities to enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Vogtland and Erzgebirge.
Well-developed roads make it easier to enjoy the section from Aue to Zwickau, which mostly leads through shady forests and is characterized by constant ups and downs.
The section of the route between Zwickau and Glauchau is a relaxing one. It runs straight through the Mulde floodplains, allowing you to take in the passing scenery.
The penultimate stage is once again a challenge: Two climbs await cyclists before the towns of Penig and Wechselburg, but the town centers are all the more rewarding for the effort. We explore the story of the large pot in Penig and explore the Wechselburg Basilica. Along the way, we ride through fields and pass under the impressive Göhren Viaduct.
The final stretch toward Sermuth follows well-maintained sections toward the Mulde confluence. Along the way, Rochlitz Castle offers an excellent view of the Mulde Valley. The internationally renowned Colditz Castle is also definitely worth a detour.
