March 9, 2026,Topasfelsen Schneckenstein – Waldhotel Vogtland Runde von Am Kielfloßgraben

A lovely introductory hike to start the season at Schneckenstein in the Vogtland region. The route continued to Mühlleiten and from there back to Muldenberg, where the hike began. The parking lot at Flossgraben is the starting and finishing point of this highly recommended circular hike.

It was a surprise that there was so much snow. It was very wet, but this winter sight was more than worth the tour. The signs for cross-country skiing are in place and everyone is hoping for snow.

August 29, 2024,Panoramablick VogtlandArena – Schneckenstein Runde von Steindöbra

The first section from Unterer Floßteich to Hirschenstein is a hidden and very narrow hiking trail. Check the map every now and then to avoid taking the wrong turn (like I often did). And make sure you keep your eyes on the ground!

And every year the marmot greets you... in Mühlleithen.
Unfortunately, we reached the place with the most snow in the east of the country exactly 5 days too late this year and accidentally ended up in total chaos.
There was only a little bit of the beautiful snow of the last few weeks left... but all the …

May 19, 2026,Wasserrad am Kielfloßgraben – Topasfelsen Schneckenstein Runde von Vogtlandschanzen

The route along the Floßgrabenweg runs on the road, although a wonderful hiking trail runs parallel to it, always along the Floßgraben. This should be the main route for hikes.

September 20, 2025,Runde von Klingenthal zum Schneckenstein

In glorious hiking weather, we started at the Alte Aschbergschanze ski jump and followed the Floßgraben ditch toward Wettinplatz. Passing the waterwheel, we reached the Schneckenstein. The trail first led us to the Schneckensteiner Halde, where we enjoyed the magnificent view of the Sparkasse Vogtland Arena. After a short break for drinks, we continued on to the Topasfelsen rock. There …
