    Hiking

    The dammed Kirnitzsch refers to two lock systems in the Kirnitzsch Valley in Saxon Switzerland, which were originally used for timber rafting and are now tourist attractions: the Upper Lock near Hinterhermsdorf, known for its boat trips, and the Lower Lock near Sebnitz, which serves as flood protection.
