Excursión ciclista de un día de Chemnitz a Kurort Oberwiesenthal

Get ready for a real adventure as you pedal from Chemnitz all the way to Oberwiesenthal! Starting in Chemnitz—nicknamed "Saxony’s city of modernity" and famous for its vibrant art scene—you’ll soon leave the city buzz behind and head deep into the rolling landscapes of the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains). The ride is just over 83 kilometers and brings a serious challenge, with over 1,500 meters of climbing.

Most of your route is on paved or asphalt surfaces, but get ready for a mix: you’ll also roll over some scenic gravel tracks and even a few stretches of paving stones, keeping things interesting. Expect generous stretches on quiet country roads and cycling paths, so you can soak in the peaceful scenery.

Your finish line is Oberwiesenthal, Germany’s highest town (almost 1,000 meters up!), a hotspot for winter sports and fresh mountain air. Don’t forget to bring layers—the weather can change fast up here! Treat yourself to cake and coffee in town; you’ve definitely earned it after this epic ride.
