The Auerswalde suspension bridge was opened in autumn 2017. It connects the Chemnitztalradweg shortly after the Schusterstein tunnel with Auerswalde and the Auerswalder Mühlenkeller, which is right next to the bridge.

Chemnitztal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The people of Chemnitz can be truly proud of their bike path: completely paved, with a roughly 30-meter-long tunnel through the rock, and at least one large bridge. What more could you want?

The sun lured me today to a tour of the Chemnitz area. The wind was also my constant companion, sometimes as a pushing tailwind and then at the end on the Kreisigstraße up to Oberrabenstein a power-sapping brake. It was nice anyway, favorite tour along the Chemnitz.

Since the mobile phone did not record the first few kilometers, we had to redraw the tour up to Rabenstein. Otherwise, everything worked wonderfully, the weather, the paths, the landscape - everything beautiful.

The first part was less well thought out. It could have been improved. But the Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path is always a feast for the eyes. 👌🚴‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️🌳🌲🌭🍺

Today I wanted to enjoy some leisurely asphalt again. So I took the city train to Burgstädt, then descended to the Chemnitztal cycle path. Since the colorful chimney has since been upgraded to a "Purple Path" artwork, I was able to do another one; I haven't found a sign yet.
