The historic Jägersteig, which was renovated in 2018, can be reached a little above the old paper mill. It leads to the so-called bastion, with a wonderful view. From there you get to the Blankenberger Veste; one of the castle ruins destroyed by the Soviets.

Nice hiking trail with many viewpoints, but sure-footedness and good footwear should not be neglected.
