Cycling along the Zschopau rocks.

After the Zschopau valley cycle path winds in its first stage from the source of the Zschopau to the town of the same name, it continues downstream. The second stage is the easier of the two. Highlights of the route are the 9-kilometre-long Kriebstein reservoir, which lies in the wild-romantic protected landscape area "Middle Zschopau Valley", and Kriebstein Castle, Saxony's most beautiful knight's castle, which perches on a steep rock above the Zschopau.
