Trail Reviews
A very nice route past many carved figures. Almost no federal highway. Just forest paths... In Bozi Dar you can eat the finest Czech food. Kneddl with goulash, for example. The beer there is known to be very spicy. At km 22, however, you have to expect a muddy diversion because the bridge is being built.

Today's round bears the name of a German Olympic legend in ski jumping, the Jens Weissflog Tour, which I left unchanged this time. The cross-border tour leads into the Ore Mountains landscape in the west of Oberwiesenthal, has a length of 26 km and there are 410 meters of altitude to conquer. The start is also here at the Fichtelberg suspension railway valley station and follow the "Jens-Weissflog-Tour" markings. The tour usually leads over a well-developed network of paths, through beautiful forests and the beautiful landscape of the Ore Mountains and can also be tackled with a touring bike. The signposting of the route is inadequate, however, and the route is often unclear, especially when turning, and without Komoot I would have lost my way more often.
