Speeding down public roads with a racing driver, especially if he knows his way around – the excitement of the PS readers Aileen and Christian was written on their faces at the first hello.

The Augustusburg Castle near Chemnitz. A highlight of the collection at Augustusburg is the company history of MZ. We didn’t want to do her sad end to ourselves and left Zschopau on the tour.

House route with Max Neukirchner in the Ore Mountains
Content of
The last stage of the PS house track series in 2013 was something very special: two Helden Club members drove with World Championship pilot Max Neukirchner through his territory in the Ore Mountains.

Aileen and Christian noticed the excitement at the first hello on the evening before the tour. Jet down public roads with a racing driver, especially if he knows his way around – hopefully it will work out well! The fact that the 32-year-old has already collected several motorcyclists who have had an accident in her tough everyday life as a paramedic doesn’t make it any better.

During dinner in Max Neukirchner’s local pub in Stollberg, the excitement of the two winners noticeably fades. The joy of having been drawn from numerous applications from PS subscribers for this extraordinary house track episode is particularly noticeable when Max Neukirchner chats casually about the upcoming two days in the Ore Mountains and life as a professional racing driver.
Early in the morning the troop swings into their saddles under the somewhat dreary autumn sky. Aileen’s slightly aged Kawasaki ZX-6 with the martial-looking double exhaust turns out to be the riot carrot in the field, while friend Christian owns a newer Hayabusa. Max, still injured on his wrist from the fall at the World Cup run in Turkey, prefers the relaxed seating position of the Ducati Diavel to a Panigale, and after the author has unloaded the home-run GSX-R 1000, off we go.
Departure in the morning rush hour
In the morning rush hour we wag through the outskirts of Chemnitz in the direction of Augustusburg Castle and then enjoy the first bends in rural Saxony. The foothills of the low mountain range with countless round peaks greet us. They prepare beautiful terrain for motorcyclists, because both the views and the constant up-and-down of the roads are simply to be enjoyed – even if some autumn construction sites with detours and wild bumpy roads reduce the fun every now and then.
But Max has the route under control, and on the driveway to the castle we let the boxes fly properly. Left, right it goes briskly through the forest up to the huge facility, which, in addition to the hunting, carriage and animal museum, is home to one of the most impressive collections of especially German motorcycles. “I was here quite often as a child,” says Neukirchner and admits that as a little boy he was more impressed by the stuffed animals than by the motorcycles.
Passing MZs, DKWs, BMWs and brands from over 100 years of motorcycle history that are hardly known today, we end up with the MZ racing machines, which were built in the not far away Zschopau and with the finest two-stroke technology the Grand Prix especially in the smaller classes have shaped. We marvel in awe at the machines with which Papa Neukirchner also became multiple GDR champion. At the end, PS reader Aileen does a race with Max on a simulator, then it goes on to Seiffen, the heart of the art of carving from the Ore Mountains.
The closer you get to the home of smokers and hand-painted angels, the more spectacular the sculptures become in the roundabouts or on the forecourt of the village town halls. Gigantic carved figures and house-high Christmas pyramids leave no doubt that we are in the Mecca of Saxon folk art. You feel like you are in the middle of the nutcracker story.
On a winding route to the adventure pool
On the other hand, beyond the village limits, there is a paradise for those who like curves. Sometimes it’s sweeping through mowed meadows on a fine strip of asphalt, sometimes through avenues uphill or through deciduous forests down into deep valleys. Since autumn has not yet struck brutally and the colorful leaves are still mainly hanging on the trees and not lying on the street like soft soap, Max lets the Diavel fly – and the pack rushes behind.
Jahn, Markus
Autumn bathes the fairytale landscape of the Ore Mountains in beautiful colors.
Finally, in Seiffen, we reach the Zeidler company, which, in addition to the well-known Erzgebirge carvings, has been making wooden knee grinders from local beech since 2002, which Max has been using in the World Cup for some time. Company boss Andre Zeidler shows us the complete production and explains the development work. In the warehouse, the PS readers can then access and choose a few grinders.
After lunch you go back to the country roads, the former mountain race track up to the Schwartenberg, on to the winter sports mecca of Klingenthal and up to the Fichtelberg. Along the Czech border, the route leads through a sparsely populated area with a fairytale landscape, some of which is reminiscent of Canada, to the destination Eibenstock.
There Max has a surprise ready: We are exclusive guests in the Eibenstock bathing gardens, one of the largest German bathing and sauna facilities and a real adventure tip. After an extensive Finnish smoke sauna with a birch branch ritual, a hearty dinner with fresh smoked trout and Russian beer and a campfire in the open air, a spectacular day full of impressions comes to an end late.
The return trip to Stollberg the next morning is somewhat clouded by the onset of the rain, but Max Neukirchner says goodbye to two happy PS Helden Club members in his hometown, who were really able to experience something very special.
The Ore Mountains
The home route selected by Max Neukirchner offers everything a motorcyclist’s heart desires. After circumnavigating Chemnitz, one moves in the finest rural area, in some areas with extremely little traffic.
Everything a motorcyclist’s heart desires: The Ore Mountains.
The roads are wonderfully peppered with curves and mostly well paved. Numerous castles, ruins, picturesque villages and other sights invite you to take a break, as do many inns with regional specialties at mostly sensational prices.
Our overnight tip: the bathing gardens in Eibenstock (www.badegaerten.de). From summer 2014, there will also be lure converted wooden wagons for motorcyclists around a huge natural pool and sauna pool under the open sky. Owner Hendrik Potter is an enthusiastic motorcyclist himself and has a number of route tips ready. Incidentally, the knee sliders from Seiffen are available from Louis.
