This motorcycle route leads from the Saigerhütte (UNESCO World Heritage Site component) over the Ore Mountains ridge with many views and exciting winding sections to the Czech Republic and back. After crossing the Natzschung valley, a beautiful section of the route runs along the border with the Czech Republic.

The border is crossed at Rübenau, and we reach the main road via Kallec (Kallich) to Chomutov. After Hora Svateho Sebastiana (Sebastiansberg), we turn right onto the ridge road. We leave it in Cwelna (Zollhaus) to the left and descend the Bohemian side of the Ore Mountains. Over Prunerov (Brunnental), Vysluni (Sonnenberg), Klasterec nad Ohri (Klösterle), Medenec (Kupferberg), and back into the Egertal, some beautiful winding roads are driven.

Via Ostrov and Joachymov, we reach the border again at Oberwiesenthal. A detour to the Fichtelberg (1214 m) is always worthwhile because of the view.

On the German side, we pass Bärenstein, Königswalde, Mildenau, and Mauersberg. The last kilometers from Marienberg to Olbernhau lead back to the starting point Saigerhütte Olbernhau.
