Around Bad Elster: Mühlhausen – Remtengrün – scenic!

Embark on this circular route, starting and ending in the Royal Facilities of Bad Elster, on a varied mountain and valley hike through the charming landscape of the Elster Mountains northeast of the mineral and moor spa.

The most challenging section of the hike awaits you at the beginning when you climb the Brunnenberg via the Mühlhausener Kirchsteig. Afterwards, moderate ascents follow, some flat sections along the Rauner Bach and the Weiße Elster, and naturally, you can look forward to scenic panoramic sections around the viewing tower in Remtengrün and during the descents into the valley.

Special idyll awaits you in the valley of the Rauner Bach shortly before its confluence with the Weiße Elster in Mühlhausen. As part of a nature reserve, it serves to preserve a structurally and species-rich flowing water system and its typical habitats. Of great importance here is the occurrence of the highly endangered freshwater pearl mussel.
