A hike along the "Paths of Songs" invites you at suitable places along the path to sing well-known German folk and hiking songs displayed on song lyric boards.

Initiated in 1998/1999 following an idea by the Traffic and Beautification Association “Tharandter Wald” e.V., the "Paths of Songs" have already existed for 20 years. Not far from Kurort Hartha, at suitable locations along the roadside, song lyric boards invite you to sing well-known German folk and hiking songs. As part of the 10th Saxon Hiking Day, the singing hike is accompanied by the local choir of Kurort Hartha e.V., which also published two song booklets for it - www.chor-des-kurortes-hartha.de/wege-der-lieder/. The song booklets can be purchased for a small fee of €1.00.

Highlights along the way:

  • Sonnenbad (forest play area)
  • Hexenhäusel
  • Ernemannhütte
  • Salt lick
  • Kneipp facilities
