https://www.koberbachtalsperre.de/ Ideal short circular hike around the Koberbach Dam with children. Circular route approximately 4.3 km. You can also walk around the fore-dam of the Koberbach Dam. The Koberbach Dam is a dam in the northwest of the Zwickau district in the Free State of Saxony. It was built to supply industrial water to the towns of Neukirchen and Crimmitschau and today serves exclusively for flood protection and recreation. Great for relaxation, hiking, picnicking, swimming, and fishing. There's even a drive-in cinema directly across from the Koberbach Dam.

The name alone suggests a charming story. Nestled in a gently rolling landscape near Neukirchen/Pleiße, the castle sits enthroned on a hill with sweeping views over the countryside.

During the GDR era, a wooden shelter for hikers was built in the middle of the castle grounds on the castle hill (Lindenberg). The hut was replaced by a new wooden shelter after 1990. A hiking trail climbs the mountainside directly on the slope of the castle hill. It also branches off into the castle grounds. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudelsburg_(Ru%C3%9Fdorf)
