Wandern in Mulda
April 6, 2025, Schwedenhöhe

The Schwedenhöhe refuge, with a table and bench, invites you to take a rest after the short climb. The view of the Mulda and the expansive meadows is worth the effort.

A piece of Stoneman Road

During the construction of the railway line between Flöha and Freiberg at the end of the 19th century, a piece of the slope at the foot of the mountain was removed. This threw the natural system out of balance and led to a major landslide in 1897. Since then, people have called this area “Rutsch” or “Wandering Mountain”. Today there is a small shelter and benches above here. Unfortunately, the view is only special from the edge, because the trees at the hut are now too high. But a hike along here is still worth it. Also easy to connect with the old limestone caves nearby.
