    Hiking

    Please definitely take a ride on the narrow-gauge railway! It's incredibly fun, and you're essentially traveling with a great piece of history! It's the oldest narrow-gauge railway in Germany!
    For beginners, travel from Hainsberg to Rabenau; for advanced hikers, travel from Hainsberg to Spechtritz; and for experienced hikers, travel all the way to Dippoldiswalde! If you're not afraid of the 27 km, you can also take the narrow-gauge railway to Kipsdorf!
