The cycle tour leads mainly along the well-surfaced paths on the hills around the Stollberg district of Gablenz and offers many wonderful views.

The starting point of the cycle tour is Schützenplatz on the edge of the town center. From here, the route follows the Gablenzbach stream through Mitteldorf and continues along the picturesque Bauernweg to Oberdorf. From there, the route climbs steeply via Paulusgasse and crosses the B 169. The Katzenstein is the highest point and also the highlight of the tour and offers the opportunity to take a break with a fantastic view of the Ore Mountains. Well rested, you can then continue the tour along a section of the Eisenweg and further along the edge of the forest. From the Waldfrieden animal sanctuary, you can cycle along the floodplain of the Oberer Querenbach stream back to the starting point or finish off with a visit to the enchanting tree-lined playground at the Walkteich pond. If you like, you can also go rowing here or relax with coffee and cake from the kiosk or the "Walkbeach" café.
