Forest tour with far-reaching views and a panoramic mushroom

This panoramic circular hike starts at the Spiegelwaldbaude with the striking König-Albert viewing tower - the highest point of the tour and a must for anyone who enjoys gazing out over the green waves of the Ore Mountains.The trail leads through the spruce forest typical of the Ore Mountains to the edge of the forest, where a wide view of Grünhain opens up.

The trail now takes a leisurely turn to the left, once around the Spiegelwald forest. The route mostly runs along the edge of the forest and offers a pleasant interplay between light and shade. New perspectives of the surrounding landscape open up again and again, making it a walk for the eyes and the soul.

The path finally leads to the right to the viewing platform, affectionately known as the "balcony of the Ore Mountains". The view here is breathtaking and lives up to its name. A rest area invites you to take a break and enjoy the panorama. The route continues along the former railroad embankment until a short climb follows.

Once at the top, the route leads gently back to the starting point at the Spiegelwaldbaude. If you want to complete the tour, you should not skip the observation tower at the starting point. It is a worthy finale with a panoramic view of the wonders of the Ore Mountains. There are also several benches along the way for you to enjoy.
