Kammweg (1904)
The Kammweg was a long-distance hiking trail opened in 1904 along the ridge lines of the Elster Mountains , Ore Mountains , Bohemian Switzerland , Lusatian Mountains , Jeschken Mountains , Jizera and Giant Mountains , Glatzer Schneegebirge and Jeseníky Mountains . This path, marked with the comb symbol, was the longest tourist path in the German-speaking area in its time.
Sections that still exist today are designated as ridge paths in the Jeschken Mountains, Lusatian Mountains, Jizera Mountains, Giant Mountains and Ore Mountains.
history
The main initiators of the “Kammweg”, which was planned by the Mountain Association for Northern Bohemia as early as 1902, were the pedagogue and local researcher Josef Brechensbauer (1867–1945) and the grammar school teacher Anton Amand Paudler (1844–1905), co-founder of the excursion club (hiking association) in Northern Bohemia, the Section from Jeschken to Rosenberg in his 1904 book Der neue Kammweg vom Jeschken zum Rosenberg . The plan was to route across all the border mountains of Bohemia and Moravia-Silesia from the Danube to the Oder , the longest stretch of the route from the Hainberg near Asch ( Háj u Aše in Czech ) to the Altvater ( Praděd ) in the Altvater Mountains .
After 1945 the continuous marking of the path was discontinued, but most of the sections of the path were preserved as hiking trails. After 1990, the European long-distance hiking trail E3 was re-marked on large parts of the historic route .
Since 2011 the Kammweg tradition u. a. continued with the ridge path Erzgebirge – Vogtland , which runs exclusively on the German side.
