    Hiking

    Leaving the path along the Black Pockau River towards Katzenstein, we re-enter the forest and are now accompanied by the Green Ditch.

    An artificial ditch, constructed in the 17th century to aid mining.

    We feel as if fairies and elves are dancing around us.

    A stretch of rust-brown pine needles marks the path as we continue through this landscape.
