BLOCKLINE portal with milestones in Frauenstein

Highlight • Monument

Starting from the starting gate (Holzhau), you're at kilometer 60 of the BLOCKLINE route (Stage 7). From here, you'll have an impressive view of the town of Frauenstein. The old castle ruins tower over the town, evoking a sense of the Scottish Highlands here in the Ore Mountains. Stage 7 ends on the market square in Frauenstein. A visit to the Silbermann Museum will teach you interesting facts about the famous organ builder. Three BLOCKLINE Inns partners are located nearby, offering accommodation or a stopover: Hotel Goldener Stern, Hotel Frauensteiner Hof, and Frauenstein Youth Hostel. From here, the next section (Stage 8) awaits you, with a distance of 13.7 km, a 273 m ascent, and a 381 m descent.

Blockhausen

Highlight • Structure

Blockhausen is always worth a visit. Chainsaw carving art can be admired and there is a snack with regional products. The Gabriel family's show apiary is also worth mentioning. When the beekeepers are on site, you can look over their shoulders.

Blockline Start and Finish Portal, Holzhau

Highlight • Structure

Stage 01 of the BLOCKLINE leads from the start and finish portal in Holzhau to the old train station in Neuhermsdorf. Holzhau is the start, finish and center of the BLOCKLINE. With the nearby Mulde, Holzhau quickly became an important supplier of wood for the mining industry. The BLOCKLINE leads past the Steinkuppe to the stage destination, the old train station in Neuhermsdorf. Here you can marvel at many rare plants that are recapturing the old railway embankment.
