      The path is not only suitable for mountain bikes, it is also quite easy to get through with other bikes, but the bike should already have a certain terrain suitability (e.g. no racing bike). You may have to descend via the two steps there if you are not so practiced.

        "The history of the" Liebenthaler Grundt "(es), which was first mentioned in a document in 1527, was linked to the extraction of sandstone for centuries. Water power was also used at an early stage by various mills and, from 1894, by the power station of the municipality of Copitz At the end of the 18th century, the valley developed into a popular excursion destination and for a long time was the western gateway to Saxon Switzerland.

        It was not until 1841 that a footpath was laid from Liebethal to Lochmühle by the Pirna authorities. A commemorative plaque on the valley wall below the Copitzer power station reminds of this. "- de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebethaler_Grund
