Blockline Loop 1: Holzhau " Altenberg " Hermsdorf " Holzhau

Starting in Holzhau, the route leads over the Steinkuppe to the Hemmschuh nature reserve with its fragrant bear's bane, blue devil's claw and bright orange fire lilies.We continue on to two brothers of a special kind: the Großer Lugstein and the Kleiner Lugstein are part of the Erzgebirge ridge and have a height difference of just three centimetres. The loop route takes us on to a mystical place: the Georgenfelder Hochmoor is a special natural treasure. Only a few raised bog areas are so well preserved. A unique landscape with rare vegetation: bog pine, cranberry, sundew and many more characterize the landscape here. The route leads up to the Kahleberg, with a fantastic panoramic view - and on to the Altenberg winter sports center. Leave the Galgenteiche ponds behind you and follow the BLOCKLINE into the Weißbachtalm, one of the most charming valleys in the region. After crossing the wooden portal in Hermsdorf, the route leads you back to Holzhau via the loop connection.
