July 2, 2022,Nach dem Frühdienst zur Nixkluft 🎒🥾

Today after the early shift, we went spontaneously to Waldheim and a little round along the Zschopau.....found at Komoot 😃
The Nixkluft view is just great 👍🏻

Up to Steina very easily. But then a constant up and down on a very narrow path. The built-in steps and even the bridges are in a desolate condition. But very scenic. The 150-year-old viaducts and retaining walls of the railway line are impressive.

Today I used Senta komoot.de/user/703799222986 and Tim (Explorer) komoot.de/user/karlmay for my tour. At that time, Steffi had hiked the Zschopau from Waldheim and I had found the bankruptcy mile with Tim. So a tour along the Zschopau river up and down to the rabbit's nest planned and hiked today. We started at the train station in Waldheim. We gave up …

Have a nice after-work round at home 😇.
Starting at the restaurant "Waldfrieden" we went along the bankruptcy mile at the Diedenhainer Viaduct to the Limmritz Viaduct, then over the suspension bridge at the Hasennest, up Zschopau to the Nixkluft viewpoint and shortly before the finish 🎼"The moon 🌕 has risen..." over the Zschopau in Waldheim .

Beautiful autumn hike along the Zschopau. In some places the path is very narrow and branches are difficult to see (at least in autumn). But "Miss Komoot" usually points out the mistake in good time... ;-)

June 8, 2025,Limmritz - Waldheim an der Zschopau entlang, mit und ohne Regen ☔️

This is an exciting tour, but not suitable for children or walkers. Some of the trails are very steep, slippery, and at times barely visible. Surefootedness, agility, and stamina are therefore essential. The forests are very beautiful, and warning signs for difficult trails are posted. The Luther Trail and Zschopautal Trail also cross here. The area around the Zschopau River …

April 13, 2024,Bankrottmeile - Runde im Zschopautal von Limmritz nach Waldheim

The Limmritz-Waldheim section of the Riesa-Chemnitz railway line is popularly known as the “Bankruptcy Mile”. The high construction costs for the bridges there were the cause of the insolvency and subsequent nationalization of the Chemnitz-Riesa Railway Company in 1848.
