"Mulderadweg" bicycle route in the Ore Mountains district (Erzgebirgskreis)
The section of the Mulde bicycle route in Erzgebirge was officially opened on the 3rd of May, 2013, and follows along the former railway track Chemnitz – Aue – Adorf. Part of this trail takes you from Wolfsgruen (district of Eibenstock) over 12 km to Aue and is paved all the way. In Blauenthal (district of Eibenstock) there is an intersection with the bicycle route “Karlsroute” that leads over the Erzgebirge ridge as far as Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad). A special highlight of the Mulde Bicycle Route in the Erzgebirge district is the ride through the renovated and lighted former railway tunnel near Bockau.
The surrounding villages have been connected to the Mulde bicycle route by direction signs along feeder routes. On these connecting routes you may ride through the trees on forest roads or on peaceful or moderately busy streets. Some forests paths here are not paved and you may have to reckon with sandy or gravel road surfaces.
The very charming and idyllic scenery and surrounding places of cultural interest along the Mulde River bicycle route in the Erzgebirge district are always worth a visit. Find out for yourself how much Erzgebirge has to offer! Experience the sights by “pedaling through” the cultural and historical riches of this region.
Places along the way
Bicycle Route – side trails
The Mulde cycling route is connected to further trails:
Karlsroute – cycling route between Aue and Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary) in the Czech Republic leading through Blauenthal (district of Eibenstock), with further connections to the Eger cycling route and the cycling network in the Bohemian Erzgebirge.
