Hiking

Originally, the "Riß", the gorge, was carved into the rock by human hands to allow timber to easily overcome the difference in altitude. Over the centuries, the water has worked its way deeper and deeper into the rocky soil of the Göltzsch Valley. This last section, the Riß Falls, fits charmingly into the surrounding forest landscape. The Riß Falls no longer carry as much water year-round today. However, after heavy rainfall and after the snowmelt, they are particularly beautiful to behold.

Hiking

The cracks are the largest waterfalls in the Vogtland and are located between Grünbach and Hammerbrücke, which should not emanate from a large waterfall but from small cascading waterways. Previously, the brook was used for rafting. Even today once a year Schauflößen takes place in Muldenberg. The stream itself does not carry much water today. After heavy rain, these are already impressive. Even in good weather worth a walk or hike there. People who enjoy cycling or hiking have ideal conditions There are many benches to rest. The area is a popular hiking and skiing area.
