The descent from Liebethal down into the gorge is a little challenge, but it is worth it. You should be sure-footed and wear good shoes. We lingered briefly on the bridge and simply enjoyed nature.

The Wesenitz flows here in the valley:

The Wesenitz rises in the Hohwald, part of the Lusatian Mountains, at a height of 515 m on the Valtenberg from the mouth of the Valentin Erbstollen, an old mine.

It flows through Neukirch, Bischofswerda, close to Stolpen and passes the Lusatian Fault at the so-called Teufelskanzel near Dürrröhrsdorf, where it enters the Elbe Sandstone. Here it flows through the Liebethaler Grund. In the Pirna district of Pratzschwitz it flows into the Elbe. The preglacial Wesenitz may have flowed eastwards in Oberneukirch through the Wilthen valley basin into the Spree; moraines and masses of gravel at the northern foot of the Dahrener Berg therefore ensured its current course to the west.

With a length of 83.6 kilometers, the Wesenitz is one of the longer right tributaries of the Elbe.
