background
getting there
By plane
By train
The City-Bahn Chemnitz leaves every hour on weekdays and every two hours on Saturdays / Sundays Chemnitz via Frankenberg to Hainichen.
By bus
In the street
Frankenberg is easily accessible via the 
Chemnitz – Dresden reachable. In the course of the six-lane expansion, the exit was relocated a little further north, so that the city cannot be reached immediately after leaving the autobahn. In addition to the motorway, there is also the federal highway 
Chemnitz – Frankenberg – Hainichen (less relevant for the journey because it runs parallel to the A4) and the federal highway 180, which comes from the Ore Mountains and ends in Frankenberg.
