This stage of the Luther Trail leads hikers almost exclusively along the river "Zwickauer Mulde", through small sections of forest, across floodplains and past small villages until they are greeted by the towers of the castle and town church of the almost 800-year-old town of Glauchau.
There are hardly any differences in altitude to contend with on this route. You leave the urban area of Waldenburg through Grünfelder Park. Interrupted only by small sections of forest, almost the entire route runs alongside the river. The almost 800-year-old town of Glauchau is nestled in the Erzgebirge basin. Glauchau also belonged to the territory of the Lords of Schönburg, who promoted the Reformation in their domain after 1542. They established a superintendency in Glauchau.
