Make the Stoneman your own adventure
With the planning tool you build your tour exactly the way you need it: Your stages, your accommodation partners, your experience!
Split the Stoneman loop into one, two or three day stages. We call it Gold, Silver and Bronze!
Choose where you start, when you tackle which climb, or how far you walk or run each day.
This way you'll know right away how far you still have to go after your day's destination, or how to get to your starting point!
Move the start and waypoints however you need and develop your very own personal split.
Getting There
📍 The Stoneman Miriquidi Hike+Trailrun runs along the ridge of the Ore Mountains in the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří mining region, between Fichtelberg, Johanngeorgenstadt and Jáchymov, crossing the German-Czech border several times.
🚗 By car, access is via the A 72 motorway. The B 95 leads to Oberwiesenthal at the foot of the Fichtelberg. Parking is available at several checkpoints.
⛺ Tip for motorhome drivers: parking spaces are available at Landhotel Rittersgrün for €20 per night (€30 incl. electricity). For an extra €15 you may take a hot shower and use the toilets at the hotel.
Signage
➡️ The hiking and trail running route of the Stoneman Miriquidi is fully signposted. Info boards, route map, planning tool etc. guide you clockwise along the route. However, the route can also be walked or run anticlockwise.
📱 Gold starters in particular should use a GPS device with the current track. You'll receive the up-to-date GPX track after registering, no later than 3 days before your tour, by email.
🗺️ Every "Classic" starter bag includes a detailed route map of the course. This means you'll be perfectly prepared for your Stoneman Miriquidi adventure.
