The Arzloch is an atmospheric, wild gorge with eroded sandstone layers. Due to its humid local climate, it is home to rare animal and plant species, a waterfall and the "Markgrafentisch" rock formation. To get down from Eckersdorf, you have to climb a little and cross a narrow wooden bridge. A real experience.
