Currently rather unsuitable for dog owners. The first steps are made of mesh and every dog has a problem with it. Either carry it or simply use the bridge which …

Start and finish at Zschopau train station, half of the route along the Zschopautalweg along the water. At Wilischtal back over the Zschopau and over the Stülpnersteig. On the way back a few nice vantage points and interesting information boards. The sun even accompanied us the last few meters.

Unfortunately, the battery ran out before the end of the round, a shame.

Unfortunately, from the train station you first walk along the street for a bit. Then first uphill to “Mosens Ruh”. From there it's nice to be in the forest except for short stretches. The path down along the Zschopau in particular is very idyllic.
