    On the left is the Czech Republic, on the right is Germany.
    The gorge is indeed “wildly romantic”

      A boat trip in the Kirnitzsch Valley, more specifically on the Upper Lock near Hinterhermsdorf, is an experience where you glide silently through a narrow gorge, past fascinating rock formations like the Mountain Spirit and the Crocodile, which have been shaped by wind and water over millennia. The trip, which leads through Saxon Switzerland, combines hiking along an idyllic approach path (approximately 45 minutes from the Buchenparkhalle parking lot) with a roughly 20-minute boat ride and is promoted and recommended by the Saxon Switzerland Tourist Information at Sächsische Schweiz.de.

        Before the trip, use the small snack, otherwise you will only have the opportunity to do so again at the parking lot 😉
