Wanderfamilie Erzgebirge
June 2, 2026, Waldlabyrinth Borstendorf – Röthenbacher Wald

Absolute motivation booster for the kids! Definitely take the time for the puzzle on site. The labyrinth is also great to reach with a buggy or balance bike. Practical for parents: There is also a forest toilet right here. 🌲 Checked by @wanderfamilie.erzgebirge

Forest labyrinth with quiz questions and fun for young and old. At the end, there is also an opportunity for a refreshment that you have brought yourself.

The point is unfortunately set incorrectly on the map. Schloss Rauenstein and the tunnel are nevertheless very beautiful.
