    Mountaineering

    After the great old stone bridge has been passed, an exciting descent through narrow rock chimneys over iron stairs descends into the depths. Then in the cozy tavern in Polenztal a refreshment. But beware, those who think that they will continue to hike late in the evening and find a break in Hohenstein will also be disappointed on the weekend. Then you'd better come in here in the tavern.
