A bike tour past the Bärenfels carillon and up the Kahleberg.

This varied cycle tour takes you through the impressive forests and high altitudes of the Eastern Ore Mountains. From Altenberg, the route runs via Zinnwald-Georgenfeld, whose centuries-old tradition was shaped by tin mining. On the way, you will pass the unique Georgenfeld upland moor, the Lugsteine and the Kahleberg. In Schellerhau, the botanical garden invites you to get to know the diverse flora of the Ore Mountains. The atmospheric finale is the famous Meissen porcelain carillon in the Bärenfels spa gardens. The 25 bells made from original Meissen porcelain have been ringing out on the hour since 1955, making the spa town a special cultural attraction.
