    Hiking

    The Polenz River gracefully winds its way through its idyllic valley, which has been a nature reserve since 1940. In March, the meadows transform into a blooming spectacle when the snowdrops unfold their white blossoms. On hot summer days, a hike along the river rewards with refreshing coolness, while in winter, fascinating ice formations form. See: saechsische-schweiz.de/ausflugsziele/polenztal-hohnstein

    Hiking
