The Auerswalde suspension bridge was opened in autumn 2017. It connects the Chemnitztalradweg shortly after the Schusterstein tunnel with Auerswalde and the Auerswalder Mühlenkeller, which is right next to the bridge.

Schusterstein Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

The Schusterstein Tunnel was built between 1900 and 1902 during the construction of the Chemnitz Küchwald-Wechselburg railway line. It passes under part of the Schusterstein massif, which is responsible for the beautiful meander (loop) of the Chemnitz River. Today, with its bridge-tunnel-bridge combination, it is one of the most beautiful sections of the Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path following renovations from 2015 to 2016.

Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path Between Heinersdorf and Wittgensdorf

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The new section of the Chemnitz Valley Cycle Route now leads north to the Markersdorf Museum Station. Opened in December 2016, this section represents a significant enhancement to the scenic landscape. It also offers the opportunity to admire interesting engineering feats, such as bridges and a tunnel through the Schusterstein massif, dating back to the railway's construction period.
