Circular hiking route in the town of Großröhrsdorf, which passes through both urban and natural areas.

Although the name suggests it, the Massenei circular route does not run exclusively through the forest area but also a significant part through the town of Großröhrsdorf. The hike starts at Rödertal Stadium in Großröhrsdorf, but there is also a connection to the local train station. The hiking route is consistently marked with the green dot.

Directions

From Großröhrsdorf station, follow the signage (green dot) towards Rödertal Stadium. The path leads directly past the town hall and the Technical Museum of Ribbon Weaving. A bit further off the path is the local history museum. Upon arriving at the stadium, the path continues along the "Alte Straße" towards the district of Bretnig. From here, there is a direct connection to the "Bretnig Circular Hiking Route." From Bretnig, the route runs southwards into the Massenei forest area, which it crosses. The Little Star Forest House, a log cabin used for training and leisure events by the Saxon Forestry State Enterprise, can be reached by a small detour. Passing the Stone Pond, the hiking path leads back out of the Massenei, returning to Großröhrsdorf at the Rödertal Stadium or the train station.
