Crottendorf pleasure tour. Cycle off and pack your rucksack full of delicacies from regional producers - a 20 km tour becomes a day-long experience for the whole family with a look at beekeeping, cheese-making, liqueur production and the Crottendorf smoking candle country. The Crottendorf pleasure tour combines idyllic countryside, agriculture and Erzgebirge craft businesses. The tour starts in the district of Walthersdorf at the old railroad station, which houses a small railroad museum. Cycle along the Zschopau valley cycle path towards Crottendorf, stopping at a Kneipp treading pool before reaching the Landhaus Bienentau apiary. Picturesquely situated between meadows, it is worth taking a break to browse in the farm store. Continuing along the Zschopautal cycle path, you cycle on to the Fritzsch family, who run a traditional farm cheese dairy with an ice cream stand. The milk comes from their own cows, which you can see grazing on the lush Erzgebirge meadows from your bike. Next stop past Crottendorf Park: Grenzwald-Destillation - a liqueur producer that knows how to transform Erzgebirge fruit and herbs into high-proof gourmet delights. At the "Gasthof Glashütte" junction, a detour to the right to the Crottendorf Smoking Candle Land is an absolute must. Apart from the scented cones in a wide variety of fragrances and colors that are produced there, the Cafè Annabella invites you to make a delicious stopover. Here you can enjoy coffee, homemade cakes and ice cream. Well fortified, you return to the Zschopautalweg, which you cycle up to the junction towards Siebensäure, via Siebensäure and the Firstenweg past charming viewpoints and through refreshing forest to complete the circle at the starting point of the railroad museum.
