Tips
Pfaffens Ruh is a small cave located above the Zschopau River on the left bank of the river on the hiking trail towards Witzschdorf. This small burrow, which once housed the wheel bearing of a winch, was named after the landowner who owned the property here: Pfaff. The winch pulled tree trunks up the slope for the blue dye factory. Today, a date and mining symbols can still be seen carved into the stone. But be careful, as you walk past, you can hear the sand trickling a little. Entering the cave is therefore not recommended.
