    Hiking

    This initially wide path becomes increasingly narrow and rocky, partly exposed, and meanders wildly romantically down into the Zschopautal.
    Sure-footedness and a head for heights should be a minimum.
    It is about 1 km long.
    Via Mala is a path from the 19th century that was cut into the steep slope of the Zschopau in the 1970s. The narrow bridge over the “Devil’s Gorge” with a view of an overgrown rock is particularly exciting. Via Mala is also known as a mountain road in the Alps as the “bad (evil) way”.
