The Iron Trail is a high-altitude trail in the Ore Mountains, whose historical route follows the northern edge of the Ore Mountains. According to local history, it was used as early as the Middle Ages for transporting iron ore from the Schneeberg area. The route, still marked today, runs from Katzenstein near Affalter and through the Streitwald forest to Tabakstanne, continuing through the Bürgerwald forest, past the Schwarzes Kreuz memorial, to Harthauer Berg, located south of Chemnitz on Federal Highway 95. Today, the Iron Trail is a popular route for hikers and cyclists, connecting the area south of Chemnitz with the hiking trails of the central Ore Mountains.

The Sosa Dam is a dam in the Free State of Saxony. It serves to supply drinking water to the western Ore Mountains and to provide flood protection. The dam was built between 1949 and 1952 in the Höllengrund valley south of Sosa, which has been part of the town of Eibenstock since 2011, in the Ore Mountains, and was finally put into operation in 1952.
