Day route Ridge path 12 Around Olbernhau on the EB and ridge path

On this circular route south of Olbernhau, fantastic views of the city of the seven valleys compensate for the strenuous climb. Then you relax as you walk through dense beech forest past streams and rest areas for quite a stretch on the ridge path to the Grünthal Saigerhütte complex. The Saiger process was used to extract silver and copper from silver-bearing copper ores, today a noteworthy UNESCO World Heritage Site and part of the Erzgebirge / Krušnohoří Mining Region.
