The Großer Brandring is the 6th of the 9 hiking trails in Warmbad Wolkenstein's network of terrain trails.

The terrain cure trails are suitable for both experienced hikers and beginners. All terrain cure trails have the same starting and finishing point: the spa gardens in Warmbad. At 4.5 kilometers, the large Brandring is the longest of the 9 terrain cure trails. This also makes it suitable for a day trip thanks to the refreshment stops. The Wurzelbachschänke (Warmbadstraße 22, 09432 Großolbersdorf, telephone: 037369/9651) can be reached via a detour!

After your hiking experience, you can round off the day in the Silber-Therme restaurant.

The large Brandring is also a good Nordic walking and cycling route!

Directions

Predominantly leading through typical Erzgebirge forest, the large Brandring also makes its way partly across meadows and fields in the area. It starts at the information board between the miners' clinic and the Pawlow Hotel and leads northwards along Lindenallee to and through the Brandwald area, which still bears its name from times gone by when charcoal burning was practiced here. Hikers will find an ideal vantage point into the beautiful Zschopau valley to Floßplatz with the Warmbad train stop by taking a short detour to the left to the viewing plateau at Kellerlochfelsen.
