In Neuclausnitz, the smallest district of Rechenberg-Bienenmühle, lies the hard-to-find Erzgebirgscamp Neuclausnitz, built by Horst Kilbel on a former cow pasture. According to locals, it is difficult to locate, as it is at the end of a hedge, with the Schweizerhof hotel serving as a landmark. Kilbel built the campsite single-handedly, and his main concern is a lack of visitors.
