Tips from the Community
The top asphalted road winds through a romantic deciduous forest from the Litvínov (Leitmeritz) prefabricated buildings up to the Janov reservoir (not suitable for swimming). The drive up is already a pleasure and down even more so.

A route on the Stoneman Miriquidi Road: forests, rock formations, and views alternate. With little traffic, excellent surface, and consistent gradients of between 5 and 9%, the ride is particularly pleasant. Ideal for keeping your rhythm and enjoying the wonderful natural surroundings.

The gradients are very even, ranging between 5 and 9%. It's extremely pleasant to ride. The elevation profile isn't evenly distributed. There are no 18% ramps!

The 🟣 PURPLE PATH 🟣 is a sculpture trail connecting Chemnitz, the 2025 Capital of Culture, with 38 cities and towns in the region. Numerous artists have contributed works of various kinds, telling an unknown history of the region. More information at https://chemnitz2025.de/purple-path/ Jay Gard "Plywood" in Olbernhau, at the train station Material: powder-coated copper Size: 8 x 4 x 1.80 m "The white powder-coated sculpture made of sheet steel by Jay Gard, born in 1984, raised in Karl-Marx-Stadt/Chemnitz, and now living in Berlin, features the word "plywood." Metal simulates wood, and the confusion is reinforced by the use of the iconic typography of the lettering "Hollywood," which has been a trademark of the Los Angeles district in the USA known for its legendary film studios since 1921. In several ways, Gard's sculpture seems to claim something that, based on the material, it is not. In fact, it demonstratively presents linguistic and visual symbols. The technique of playfully combining signs reveals a loose relationship that exists between many linguistic or visual symbols and the meanings they convey. Thus, the seven letters of the word "Plywood" could be combined to create 46 (English) words with a wide variety of meanings. Thus, the artwork Plywood, also through its location at the Olbernhau train station, symbolizes related processes of transformation, combinatorics, and shifts in meaning of economic, cultural, and symbolic aspects in Olbernhau: While the Ore Mountain town, with its wooden figure Reiterlein created in 1933/34 for the so-called Winter Relief Fund and the VERO toy factory, which was extremely innovative and thus successful in the GDR, was a thriving center of wood production until the fall of the Berlin Wall, it experienced a major economic and concomitant cultural decline in the 1990s.
