    Interesting path where you can learn a lot about the Zschonergrund.

      The Zschonergrund is one of the most romantic side valleys on the left bank of the Elbe and is formed by the Zschonerbach of the same name. This stream, previously known as the Schoner Bach or Zschone, rises above Zöllmen and then crosses the fields of Ockerwitz, Kemnitz and Briesnitz, where it flows into the Elbe. The name is probably derived from the Slavic “cujni” = cheerful. The names of the towns Steinbach and Kemnitz (Slavic: Steinbach) also refer to this course of the river.
      The valley was already used economically in the Middle Ages. The meadows were used by the farmers in the neighboring towns to make hay. Wine was once grown on the sunny slopes, and later fruit trees were also grown. In addition, the area around the Zschonergrund was the Elector Prince's hunting ground. A mill in Grund, which has now disappeared, was first mentioned as early as 1324. They were later succeeded by the Zschonermühle, the Weltemühle and the Schulzenmühle.
