Café Dahmen Friedebach
Café Dahmen Friedebach
The hike starts in Friedebach at Café Dahmen and initially leads 200 m along the cycle and hiking trail. Crossing the B 171, we head towards the edge of the forest to the "Kreuztannenblick" rest area and via the Dorfchemnitzer Weg we reach the "Alte Mühle" inn in Voigtsdorf. After a refreshing rest, we take an ascending path to the small village of Wolfsgrund, with its "Landgasthof Wolfsgrund" inn. Via the "Drei Häuser" we reach the Dorfchemnitz ironworks. The technical museum and forging demonstrations make the visit an experience. We continue up the Buchleite to the Marderlinde natural monument. And then we see Blockhausen, the workplace of the sawyer Andreas Martin, lying above a valley. In the middle of the forest is a large collection of wooden sculptures by the world's best chainsaw artists, which is probably unique in Germany. The way back leads along the Mordsteinweg and the Geleitstraße down to Dorfchemnitz. Via the lower and upper side paths in the village, we reach the cycle and hiking trail, which takes us back to the starting point of the hike in Friedebach. Alternatively, you can take the public bus from the Wolfsgrund or "Gasthaus Palme" bus stop.
