Tips from the Community
We would have liked to stop for refreshments - but Stollberg completely closes on Saturdays at 1 p.m. A shame!

Uli Aigner, the creator of the two large purple path porcelain sculptures in Lößnitz, numbers her works (items). You can view them online; so far there are 11,163, scattered all over the world. Residents of Lößnitz could buy smaller porcelain pieces to display in their windows. For this purpose, there's a miniature purple path with 21 items. A map is available on the town's website, which you can follow. We did have to search a bit here and there, but we had a lot of fun. We found all but three items (No. 21, the apple project, seems to have moved out; for No. 4 at the Heeg town shop, we probably would have had to check the opening hours; and No. 1, the furthest away, is private and not open to the public). So, you can safely turn back at the Eisermann ideas workshop. We looked up the missing items on the website at home.

With every step, closer to the summit – the Fichtelberg climb on the Stoneman Miriquidi Road. From the intersection, it's not far anymore, and motivation gets a final boost.

A beautiful, steep mountain with good asphalt. A bit busy in places. But it's a good place to traverse its mountainous shape.
