In the south of the Wolkenstein rocky area with mining artefacts

From the castle, we walk along the Große Kirchgasse to the market. Opposite the town hall, our red-marked path begins through the gateway out of town and soon downhill into the Zschopau valley. Before we cross a small stone arch bridge, we change to the green markings. The path gradually climbs up to the Zeisigstein, whose sunny south face reaches the confluence of the Zschopau and Preßnitz rivers 100 m below. The return tour through the Kohlau outlying area (white-yellow-white) offers views of the Annaberger Land mountains and the forest hoof villages of Schönbrunn and Falkenbach.

Hiking tips

Between Kohlau and Wolkenstein, you can alternatively hike along the entire green marked trail. However, this section, which is even higher up, is mostly asphalted.

Via the B174 and B101 you can quickly reach Wolkenstein via Heinzebank
