Erzgebirge Ridgeway

The "Kammweg" get in and switch off

This hike has everything – except bears! With this slogan local tourist associations advertise hikes on Saxony’s new Quality Trail, the Erzgebirge – Vogtland Ridgeway.

The 290 km-long Ridgeway links three federal states: Saxony, Bavaria and Thuringia. From the end point of the Rennsteig, Blankenstein in Thuringia, through the Vogtland and over the Fichtelberg, at 1,215 m the highest mountain in the German part of the Erzgebirge, as far as Altenberg-Geising in the eastern Erzgebirge.

A hiking trail in remarkable nature, excellent hiking signposts and natural paths, impressive landscapes and hiker-friendly hosts, all ensure the best prerequisites for an enjoyable hiking experience.

Multi-stage with alternating hotels and luggage transfer, Ridgeway total length ca. 290 km.
