Many great panoramic views and gems such as the Gelenau Fly Agaric, the Buschmühl pond, and the Tischl rest area await you on this route. The Bed of Encounter invites you to take a break with a great view.

The hike starts at Erlebnisland Kegelsberg with a first panoramic view from the observation tower. At the beginning, you walk along an educational trail. Turn left onto Eisenstraße, where the path passes gems like the "Fly Agaric" (left side) and the Kemtau Rock (short detour to the right). Now you reach meadows and fields and have a magnificent view of the Ore Mountains ridge. Continue to the picturesque Buschmühl pond and the "Tischl" rest area in the Abtwald forest. Then you pass the "Bed of Encounter" and the Pohl-Ströher collection depot, where a visit to the special exhibitions is worthwhile. With a wide-ranging view of one of the longest municipalities in Germany, the path leads you on Plattenstraße to the church and to the Gelenau town hall with its idyllic courtyard.
