Hiking

"To the summit!" - The demanding hike to the second highest mountain in the Saxon Ore Mountains is rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view from the lookout tower.

-author tip-

Stop at the "Auersberghaus"

On a clear day, the view from the historical lookout tower extends approx. 100 km to Leipzig (the Lippendorf power plant is striking) in the north and to the highest peaks of the Bavarian Forest (Großer Arber 160 km) in the south.

Großer Stern Junction and Shelter

Highlight • Rest Area

The big star is so named because some cycling and hiking trails meet here in a "star shape". There is also a refuge directly at the cross at 808 HM.

Heaven's Ladder (Auersberg)

Highlight • Trail

The so-called Himmelsleiter leads steeply up to the Auersberg over a distance of 1.4 kilometers. You will be rewarded with a fantastic view over the Ore Mountains.

There is a small playground for children and for the grown-ups who don't want to rest in the restaurant, there are many nice, partly covered seating areas. If you don't climb the tower, you're missing out; But there is also a beautiful view towards the Eibenstock and Sosa dams from the vantage point behind the Auersberghaus.

On the way back, we made a detour into the Ore Mountains. A lovely loop to the Auersberg (1018 m) from Eibenstock. The weather held up, too 😃👍

Early in the morning... just for @〽️Markus, we took a photo from the pastry shop 😂... and of course, we also bought cake 🍰!

On the way back to Franconia, we took another hike up the Auersberg... fantastic, endless hiking trails... lined with countless raspberry and blackberry bushes... still a lot of clouds at the summit, but on the descent …

Today Nicole and I were once again out and about as tour testers for the Erzgebirge Tourism Association. The tour took us to the Auersberg, the third highest peak in Saxony at 1018 meters.

You can find the tour here: @Tourismusverband Erzgebirge e.V. komoot.com/de-de/tour/1017300318, directly on the association's account. You can also book a guided tour here.
