Beautiful route north of the Elbe. Along the way there is a kind of museum with old elements of the sandstone mine. You can see old wagons, buildings, edges, lots of rails, and more. This makes the route an adventure trail that is definitely worth it.

A wonderful path directly on the edge of the sandstone quarries that gives interesting insights into the life and daily work of the workers in the quarry.

Unfortunately, there are very few signs. There is so much to discover here that you would sometimes wish for an information board.
