    August 2023: the Weberschluchte are cut free up to about 300 meters in front of the Webergrotte, with heavy technology, and that's what it looks like. The last few meters are still an obstacle course over or under dead trees,

      An enchanted place. If you are lucky enough to be alone there you can enjoy the unbelievably soothing silence.

        "The Weber Grotto is one of the largest cleft caves in Saxon Switzerland, located in the area of ​​the Great Zschands and has a triangular base area of ​​about 10 meters each and a height of about 5 meters." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webergrotte

          Wild romantic place, remote and therefore not crowded. And a place for every season. 👍

            Anyone who is here should also take a look at the small weaver grotto ...

              The Webergrotte is one of the largest fissure caves in Saxon Switzerland and is located in the Great Zschand area in Germany. Its base is in the shape of an equilateral triangle with sides of around 10 meters and a height of around 5 meters.
              As early as the beginning of the 19th century, in addition to the forestry use of the Webergrotte, a hiking trail was created that leads past the grotto. This trail includes a series of steps in a boulder and a wooden ladder to overcome the difference in height. It continues to the historic tourist trail and the Prebischtor. There are dedicated hikers who are committed to making these old hiking trails accessible again, especially the non-commercial access to the Prebischtor via the historic paths. I also count myself among these supporters.

                Nowadays it is an end point, but in earlier times it continued past the Weaver's Grotto towards CZ. A worthwhile destination at any time of year.

                  The weaver's grotto is one of my favorite places in Saxon Switzerland, secluded and quiet and known "worldwide" as my homepage. Especially "behind" the stone with the steps it becomes even quieter and more secluded ...

                    Unfortunately, the old hiking trail may no longer be walked on 😕

                      Thank you for allowing legal access to the grotto. :-)

                      However, access is currently not passable (bark beetle infestation). There is an acute risk to life on the approach

                        It's easy to rest on the large stone in front of the grotto. The entrance to a mountain path is also there, but difficult to master.
