View of Scheibenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

A short detour from the actual path to the Schatzenstein is worthwhile, the view is better than the Schatzenstein itself, since this is indeed wooded.

There is a rest area in front of the monument. But before that, you have to conquer the Querweg climb. ;-)

For today I had planned the Zwönitz family hiking trail. Let's see how everything looks. Unfortunately, another way sign with Rudi the Wandervogel has been destroyed. It's a shame for the children, who then find it difficult to find their way or even go wrong

A beautiful hiking trail in the Zwönitz area. The little ones can collect stamps and the tour has a lot to offer in terms of variety. 👍

On the road again on the Lord's behalf 🕶️. No, an orphanage does not need to be saved this time. A tour test for the Erzgebirge Tourism Association is on the agenda. The evaluation will include paths, signage, educational factor, places to stop and stop for refreshments, etc.

The stamp card was available at the brewery inn, and off we went, all the way around Zwönitz. The tour was somewhat inspired by Kerstin's @Waldfrau spring discovery tour from March. Only the Zwönitz …

Beautiful scenery, 6 stamp stations for children. Plenty of rest stops along the route. Moderate difficulty. For experienced hikers. At the end of the trail, you can stop at a brewery or ice cream parlor.
