Tips from the Community
Cycle path very nice. Ascent in Niederstriegis a bit complicated. But beware, it's not a cycle path everywhere, there are always sections in between where cars are allowed.

The building was erected in the Art Nouveau style in 1902. The 56 m high tower with the clock tower is to be accessible.

Take a quick detour to Waldheim Town Hall. This imposing building with its striking facade is a real eye-catcher. Located directly on the banks of the Zschopau River, the surrounding area also invites you to take a short break. Perfect for catching your breath before moving on.

A relatively unspectacular bike path; the river is only visible near Roßwein. But at least it's car-free.

After the old town hall was demolished, which had become too small, the new building, built in Art Nouveau style, was opened in 1902. It was intended to symbolize Waldheim's economic boom at the turn of the century. The facade, which is artistically impressively designed with Rochlitz porphyry, and its decorative elements point to the town of Waldheim's origins as a forest settlement. In the crownings and frames, reveals and spandrels, gnarled branches and delicate twigs, intertwined roots and tendrils, oak shoots and pine cones appear. The sundial should also be mentioned here. But the town hall is also a gem inside. You enter the entrance hall with its leaded windows through the magnificent entrance portal. The council chamber with its historical paintings is particularly worth mentioning. Source: https://www.stadt-waldheim.de/tourismus-freizeit/sehenswertes-in-waldheim/rathaus/
