    Hiking

    August 24: Unfortunately, the paths around the Himmelsleiter are currently paved with many fallen trees. Everything is also a bit overgrown, you need concentration and sturdy shoes

    Hiking

    The "Stairway to Heaven" in the valley of the Red Weißeritz River. Ascent/Descent. Very steep coming from the Rabenau Valley.

    Info:

    Via ladders in the Rabenau Valley. The ascent is challenging. It's very steep and in places slightly exposed, leading to a dizzying height. The "Stairway to Heaven" is an old steel ladder that overcomes a rocky step. After the ladder, the route continues very steeply uphill over rocks to a viewpoint.
