This bike tour through the highlands of the Eastern Ore Mountains combines challenging climbs with spectacular views.
From Altenberg, you’ll ride past the Geisingberg, over the Sachsenhöhe, and through historic Lauenstein. Next come the Fürstenwalder Höhe, the Traugotthöhe—one of the 14 “eight-thousanders” —and the Kohlhaukuppe, before the Kahleberg impresses as the highest point in the Eastern Ore Mountains. A scenic loop full of nature, wide-open spaces, and cycling enjoyment.
