    The lower, asphalted part of the Wachwitzgrund is lined with many half-timbered houses worth seeing.
    Always accompanied by the Wachwitzbach, you can venture further into more rustic realms.
    On the left you can reach Rochwitz via the Eichendorffsteig, on the right a path leads directly to the foot of the television tower and a little later the poet-musician-painter path crosses the Grund up to Pappritz, straight ahead you can reach Gönnsdorf via stony paths in the wooded Grund .

    The hiking trail now leads up the Wachwitzgrund 200 meters and then right to the former Wachbergschänke restaurant (ST-2), built in 1883. In the 1920s to 1940s, two Africans ran a field train, the so-called mule-drawn train, between Altwachwitz and Wachbergschänke Cameroon Railway. After the Second World War, the restaurant was used as a rest home and later as a place to stay for students at the Dresden University of Music. Next door in the mountain pavilion is the “knight's hall” and above it a viewing platform.
