description: "With this circular hike - initially with a moderate ascent, but then mostly level - starting from the spa town center, you head into the northern area of the ring path network of Bad Elster. Most of the route runs on the Vogtland Panorama Path. Look forward especially to the impressive beautiful view of Bad Elster on the way back. Various Kirchsteige have been preserved around Bad Elster. These paths were used by residents of the surrounding parishes Arnsgrün, Raun or Mühlhausen for church attendance. Via the Arnsgrüner Kirchsteig you reach the Zeidelweidetal. This old forest pasture valley was formerly used as bee pasture (Zeidel=bee). The peat-rich dry grass meadows along the educational trail in this nature reserve impress with many protected plants. At the end of the valley awaits the Old Schloss Schönfeld. Admittedly, one might expect a ruin, but discover for yourself on site what really lies behind it."
