Bench at Felseneck on the Traumweg am Mühlbach

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's simply wonderful to linger here for a while. Here at Felseneck you can take a wonderful break and listen to the rippling water flowing through the Schwarzbach valley.

Already driven many times, but always interesting and beautiful.

September 18, 2023,Radtour Wolkenstein - Jöhstadt

For me it was one of the most beautiful tours.
The journey there was a bit mountainous, but the views made it worth it.
The return journey from Jöhstadt, on the other hand, is very relaxed.
It's more or less just downhill along the Preßnitz and the associated railway.
From Steinbach you then drive along the old railway line.
There …

Following traces of current and old railway lines. The former Plattenthal Railway was not developed but was easily navigable. From Jöhstadt next to the Preßnitztalbahn museum railway and the former Preßnitztalbahn, whereby the railway line to Oberschmiedeberg will be reactivated or rebuilt.

This was a very interesting and varied tour, only a bit mountain-heavy in the first half. But then it all went downhill all the more beautifully.
The 9-euro ticket paid off again, but the train was so full of bicycles that not everyone was able to get on the train.

I did this route 2 years ago. It's constantly uphill at the beginning (sometimes steep), but the descent is all the more beautiful. The landscape is worth seeing, there are lots of paths right by the water, and in the Preßnitztal you're almost alone on weekdays.
Unfortunately, the paths are mostly unpaved.
