Devil's Stones

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Teufelsstein is by far the most important climbing rock and at the same time the characteristic peak of the region. You should definitely go up there at least once - the routes and the summit experience are excellent. But all the side massifs are also a real treasure trove of different climbing routes. There are ascents of all types and levels of difficulty.
You always have sunny and shady walls to choose from. The place is suitable for families. The rock is granite with all its good and bad properties.

Johanngeorgenstadt Horse Whim

Highlight • Historical Site

Horse-drawn sledges have been mining ore and stone in the Ore Mountains for centuries. Three such systems were built in Johanngeorgenstadt between 1721 and 1806, including the sledge of the "Neu Leipziger Glück Fundgrube" in 1798. After a restoration in 1921, it became a technical monument, was demolished in 1948, and rebuilt as a museum in 1993.

March 23, 2025,das Steinbachtal bei Johanngeorgenstadt

A beautiful tour in the Upper Ore Mountains. The "Steinbachtal" circular trail is well signposted. I didn't take it, of course, but instead took the much more interesting forest nature trail. The second part then leads through the forest on the Erzgebirge-Vogtland ridge trail. Not bad, but unfortunately—once again—the paths have been damaged by logging. The third part, in Johanngeorgenstadt, …
