    Hiking

    Great tour along the upper Kirnitzsch. Start at the hiking car park Buchenparkhalle to the upper lock, from there by boat or alternatively hike, then to the Wolfsschlucht (blue and white marking) along the Kirnitzsch and back towards Hinterhermsdorf. When the weather is nice, the climb to Königsplatz with a great view is still worthwhile!

    In the cooler season it is not as full as in the summer.

    Hiking

    The Kirnitzsch has dug deep into the sandstone rock and forms the border between Germany and the Czech Republic. On the German side of the raft reminiscent of the former trade, it leads along the gorge and offers fabulous views of an original forest vegetation.

    The creek is dammed in the warm seasons before the upper lock, here you can make boat trips (Easter to October, adults 5 €, youth 4 €, families 10 €).
