Somsdorf Gorge

I have been to the Teufelskanzel many times. The most strenuous part is the rock steps from the gorge up to the entrance. But you have to take the stairs if you want to continue to Somsdorf.
Recommendation: From Somsdorf via the "Sun Temple" down to the Leitenweg, which goes along the slope above the Wilde Weißeritz to Freital-Hainsberg.
The Somsdorf Gorge can also be easily connected to the Himmelsleiter. The entrance is at the former narrow-gauge railway tunnel. From the exit of the Himmelsleiter, a narrow path leads up the slope of the Rabenauer Grund to the Somsdorf Gorge. Watch out for ticks!
BTW, I think it's a shame that a few years ago the wooden planks in the wall of the gorge were replaced by the ugly iron bridges.

In the Somsdorfer Gorge you will find almost untouched nature. The hiking trail in the lonely, shady gorge leads over stairs and, in exposed places on the rock face, over wooden walkways that are sometimes more or less well secured. Caution is advised when it is wet.More experienced climbers can go further to the Teufelskanzel, from here you have a view into the depths of the Rabenauer Grund.

Hiking in Rabenauer Grund ... Real? Yes, of course. Anyone who has not climbed the Teufelskanzel on the chain does not know the whole Rabenauer reason. The built-in after-flood fences are indeed better to commit than the old, but they had something balncieren on damp wood.
