S Karzl wooden sculpture on the Waldgeisterweg

Highlight • Structure

S Karzl, the little cult figure from the Erzgebirge on the Waldgeisterweg. ;-)
But there are even more wooden figures left and right on the Forest Spirit Trail.

Geyer Ski Jumping Complex

Highlight • Structure

Eric Frenzel made his first flights here, I always find it impressive when the athletes throw themselves from the jumps into the depths. Nice photo motif

A very nice shady valley. The path leads along the stream and is also suitable for bicycles. Along the way there are always information boards and one or the other attraction to the mining history of the valley.

A wonderful round in weather, nicer than reported, the crunch of snow under your boots and a well-tended forest. The forest ghost trail with the bird feeders and the mailbox for Santa Claus, including the gift tree ... thanks to the hardworking people who provide these surprises ...
A beautiful piece of nature.

November 27, 2021,Ehrenfriedersdorf - Runde Greifensteine

Yesterday we did a little round in #ehrenfriedersdorf - #Erzgebirge pure. The round led us into the #Greifensteinwald. Along the #roehrgraben we went to the #greifensteinen. The #waldgeisterweg was also funny. Many kids took the tour to the #santa claus mailbox with beaming and expectant eyes in their eyes. Hardly a window in the Ore Mountains is spared, in every …

Small afternoon lap from the parking lot at the Greifenbachmühle to the Greifenstein.
On the mining nature trail and the forest ghost trail we went over the Stülpner cave to the lookout rock of the Greifensteine with a wonderful view. The sun was already very low and I had to shorten my planned lap a little. From the mountain hotel …

Took advantage of the last day off and went out in the Greifenstein area again in the most beautiful winter weather. Along the Röhrgraben to the Waldgeisterweg 👻, up to the Greifensteine, further to the pond and back past the Erik Frenzel Schanzen. Mulled wine 🍵 and a few leftover gingerbreads were there for refreshments 😜
By the way, the …

March 2, 2025,Waldgeisterweg – S Karzl Runde von Geyer

It was supposed to be an early spring tour, but thanks to light snowfall overnight, it was more of a winter tour. The forest wasn't covered in deep snow, but at least it was white. There's not much to say about the Greifenstein area, 1000 paths, each one more beautiful than the last, and even today at the beginning of …
