Along the trail, there are numerous hands-on activities that are especially exciting for children. These include pasture huts for hiding, swinging rope bridges for swinging, a water wheel for powering, and a mud pit for splashing around.

https://www.koberbachtalsperre.de/ Ideal short circular hike around the Koberbach Dam with children. Circular route approximately 4.3 km. You can also walk around the fore-dam of the Koberbach Dam. The Koberbach Dam is a dam in the northwest of the Zwickau district in the Free State of Saxony. It was built to supply industrial water to the towns of Neukirchen and Crimmitschau and today serves exclusively for flood protection and recreation. Great for relaxation, hiking, picnicking, swimming, and fishing. There's even a drive-in cinema directly across from the Koberbach Dam.

The new bike path from Thonhausen to Mannichswalde starts here. It's also great for scooters, skates, etc.

During the GDR era, a wooden shelter for hikers was built in the middle of the castle grounds on the castle hill (Lindenberg). The hut was replaced by a new wooden shelter after 1990. A hiking trail climbs the mountainside directly on the slope of the castle hill. It also branches off into the castle grounds. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudelsburg_(Ru%C3%9Fdorf)
