Directions

The route starts at the train station in Frankenberg and initially leads northwest on the Auenweg to Niederlichtenau. At the beginning of Niederlichtenau we turn right onto Merzdofer Straße and follow the cycle path to Merzdorf. Then it continues via Biensdorf, Krumbach, and Neusorge to Mittweida.

Behind the new cemetery in Mittweida, the route turns right onto Dreiwerdener Weg, which runs around the town center. Shortly after, for a section, we follow the course of the Zschopau and then switch to the opposite riverbank. Via Ringethal and Falkenhain we reach Kriebethal. Here, the reservoir and the impressive Kriebstein castle invite you to stop.

From Kriebethal we cross the Zschopau again and follow the river through Unterrauschental to Waldheim. A detour to the St. Nicolai town church and the Kellerberge is worthwhile here. The route continues via Diedenhain to Limmritz, then to Masten, before finally reaching our destination in Technitz.
