SMQR C-Edition Section 01 Oberwiesenthal-Bärenstein

With the Great Mountain Scream, the rich silver discoveries at the end of the 15th century, the Ore Mountains suddenly became famous. Mining towns such as Annaberg, Buchholz and Marienberg were founded. Plenty of silver was also mined in the Oberwiesenthal mining area. Today, Oberwiesenthal is primarily known for its winter sports. The Fichtelberg ski jumps of the Olympic training center tower above the rooftops. The cult pub Prijut 12 is the scene meeting place for stoners on fat and skinny tires. On the road bike, you pass the valley station of the Fichtelberg cable car, the oldest cable car in Germany, in Waldeck. The route leads via Loucna pod Klinovcem to Vejprty before crossing the border again in Bärenstein. A steep ramp leads up to the next checkpoint on the summit of Bärenstein.
