Klingenthal is nestled in the marvellous mountain landscape of the Erzgebirge/Vogtland Nature Park. The circular trail on the heights around Klingenthal fulfils all the demanding criteria for a "Wanderbares Deutschland" quality trail.
The 50-kilometre-long high-altitude trail, which runs almost exclusively on the mountain ranges of the upper Vogtland, which rise from 800 to over 900 metres, is characterised by an unusually large number of viewpoints and scenic beauty. In part, it runs directly along the border with the neighbouring Czech Republic and crosses many other hiking trails around the "sounding valleys".
The scenic attractions, impressive views, the most beautiful sights and leisure facilities along the "Höhensteig" circular trail offer an unforgettable hiking experience!
