The upper course of the Flöha and its most important tributaries (such as the Schwarzen Pockau) cross the extensive high moors of the Ore Mountains ridge. Rainwater collects in these acidic, oxygen-poor peat layers.

View from the Hetzdorf Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view from the viaduct in all directions. The access via the short but steep path should be carefully considered for inexperienced people. From Falkenau it is much further, but also much easier!

Another round along the beautiful Flöha, to the Saidenbach Dam. Here the dam has been completed after a long construction period. You can walk over it again.
Then we continued via Reifland to Eppendorf and back along the Lößnitz.

The beautiful autumn weather always entices you to go outside. A few autumn impressions along the Flöha. A stop at Rauenstein Castle and on to the Seidenbach dam. Unfortunately there is still construction work on the barrier wall. Finally, a beautiful garden railway was discovered at Reifland train station.

September 22, 2024,☀️ Herbstanfang im Flöhatal 🍁🌳🍂

Enjoy the sun once again!
Over the dam of the Saidenbachtalsperre, we went down to Rauhenstein, to the Flöha.
☀️
Let's see what autumn will be like...
I'm a bit sad that summer is really coming to an end.
But autumn also has its charm, especially when the autumn colors really start to change again.

I took a lovely ride today in glorious spring weather.

First through the forest to the Saidenbach Dam and from there along the Flöha River to the Hohenfichte wooden bridge. For me, this is the most beautiful part of the Flöha Valley Cycle Route.
😊
Then back through the Lößnitz Valley, where there's also plenty of beautiful nature.
