Follow the directions from M1 to the city exit towards Langenbach. Then take M3 to the right down through the valley of the Schwarze Nister to the district of Langenbach. There, go up the Zinhainer Weg and turn left before the old railway embankment through Carl-Goerdeler-Allee. After the last houses, turn right uphill to the district of Zinhain. Cross Bismarckstraße at the MarienBad and follow M3 through the Basalt Park and the Park of the Senses back to the starting point.
Especially in autumn, be aware that fallen leaves on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. Such path impairments must be expected on every hike.
Wear sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate, practical clothing that protects you from cold and moisture or heat and sun.
The Basalt Park offers you interesting insights into the history of basalt mining and provides a great view of the basalt lake. Free entry.
