It runs through one of the most beautiful valleys in the Ore Mountains!

We now walk through the valley, the rocks rising up beside us.

At the side of the path, we find the mouth of the Tiefen Blühend Glück tunnel.

We get a view of the water again, a small path leading directly up to it.
We now stand on a rock in the middle of the water.

A short distance further, now directly along the water, we walk through this landscape, which nature has shaped here.

The loud rush of the Schwarze Pockau river, the mountains around us, rustic and mystical, simply beautiful.

We cross the river, the rocks rising before us like a giant.

The large stones in the water give us an idea of its power.

Here's the entire tour
