The best hikes from bus stations around Dam Muldenberg

The Rissfälle (also spelled Rissfälle) are the only natural waterfalls in the Vogtland region and are located on the border between the districts of Hammerbrücke (municipality of Muldenhammer) and Grünbach.

Open on Reformation Day - 5 stars because there are still restaurateurs with entrepreneurial spirit! Thank you

The petrified monk lies on the path from the railway crossing up to the Black Stone. In my opinion, you can't climb it, but its shape makes it very interesting to look at. It could actually be a monk...

Unfortunately it is not used, the only thing I found here was a wasp nest

A terrain where nature has created romantic rock formations! Some rock faces invite sport climbers to test their skills!

At the double bridge, a stone bridge dating back to the time of rafting, the Gahlenbach River flows into the Rote Göltzsch. An idyllic reservoir lies above the Gahlenbach. The Rote Göltzsch flows towards Hohofen and, leaving Ellefeld, empties into the Weiße Göltzsch. In the 16th century, processes for the extraction and processing of metals gradually developed below the double bridge. Ore (red iron ore) around the Röthelstein was crushed and smelted in a specially built blast furnace. It was then processed in a stamp mill (hammer). The required blower was powered by water. A wire mill, where brass blanks were formed into coarse wire, also operated with a similar drive. (Information panel)

Beautifully located on Felsenweg 4. Many rest and seating areas around the pond. The circular path around the pond is integrated into the Felsenweg 4 Vogtland hiking trail. Bodies of water have always played a special and important role in mining and subsequent processing. In order to carry out uranium ore mining and processing, various changes were made to existing rivers and streams. This includes the Thierteich near Muldenhammer. It was remediated from March 2009 to September 2009. This involved the removal of radioactive ☢️ waste from the Wismut uranium mining era.

Hidden in the forest and located at Felsenweg 4. In the Vogtland community of Muldenhammer, there was a uranium mine during the GDR era. In all likelihood, the radium spring beneath the Thierberg produces water, where, due to the uranium deposits in the area, a relatively high level of dissolved radon (and significantly less radium) is present. In any case, the spring was once attested to a radon activity concentration of 3 kBq/liter, which would be quite significant. Nevertheless, the spring has so far been spared from this major discovery for spa tourism and therefore only delights hikers who make their way to this spot. A lovely rest area with a barbecue and covered picnic benches has been set up there, and many hikers in the beautiful, dreamy pine forest won't even think about radioactivity and radon when they see the fresh, clear water bubbling from the mountain's beautifully channeled spring.
