The Gelobtbach is a narrow tributary of the Elbe and runs almost along its entire route along the German-Czech border. Sometimes it flows as a narrow run through rustic forest, sometimes it splashing through exciting sandstone canyons. On a hiking trail right on the shore you can explore the lonely and natural valley on your own.

Hiking

After the very steep ascent to the mill pond, the gorge leads over wet sandstones up to the ground path. The path often changes the side of the creek, so you have to jump over it from time to time.
A hardly taken way, where you often do not meet anyone.
