Hiking in the footsteps of an Olympic champion - this will be possible in the Ore Mountains in the future. The tourism association presented the "Eric Frenzel Trails": 18 planned circular hiking trails in the region between Eibenstock, Oberwiesenthal and Amtsberg. They are intended to be suitable for hiking, Nordic walking and trail running - sports that Eric Frenzel, the trail's namesake, enjoys doing in his free time.
Frenzel, a former Nordic combined athlete and current national coach, helped design the trails. They are between 10 and 22 kilometers long and can reportedly be completed in half a day or a whole day.
In total, the trail network will cover 290 kilometers. A feasibility study has been submitted for this purpose. It remains to be seen when the concept will be implemented.
