A route along our various historical testimonies of the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří mining region.

You start at Altenberg Station and walk along Dippoldiswalder Street. Then continue on Hirschsprunger Street - after about 150 m turn right. Now you come onto the path that takes you past the Meridian Stone. Here you automatically join the mining educational trail, which you follow around the Pinge. You reach the Altenberg Mining Museum. Then continue via Geising Street to the AL Shaft. Slightly turn right to hike on the Aschergraben path, following it toward Zinnwald. Here you pass the Zinnwald Show Mine. Then continue on the Lange Gassenweg toward Altenberg. Cross the B170 and make a short detour to the Arno-Lippmann Shaft. Then return to Bergstraße, continue on the Cross Trail (viewpoint Pinge). Then go through the spa park back to the starting point.

You can also open this route on Komoot.
