ゴルナウのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The path along the Zschopau River between Hennersdorf and Witzschdorf is known as the "Wasserrand" (waterside path). It was created around 1900 for tourism, as a destination for day trips and swimming, and the innkeeper from Witzschdorf would come down with his tray of wares. The last section between the weir and Witzschdorf is now closed due to its proximity to the railway line.

From www.kirche-gornau.de The church of Dittmannsdorf is probably the oldest church in the surrounding area. It was built between 1170 and 1250 as a wayside chapel on the Bohemian Trail, a once important trade route between Halle and Bohemia. Here, passing merchants could rest and pray. They prayed for safety on the dreaded journey through the impassable thicket of the rugged Ore Mountains forest. They gave thanks when they returned unscathed and from the deserted wilderness back into civilized territory. The church was probably dedicated to Nicholas, the saint of merchants, as suggested by an inscription on the small bell. The oldest is a life-size Gothic crucifix from the 13th century. The winged altarpiece from 1497 features the oldest known works by the painter Hans Hesse, who also painted the Annaberg Mining Altar. Also noteworthy are the ceiling painting in the chancel, the Renaissance paintings in the nave, the two Baroque tin chandeliers and the organ, which was made by Carl Eduard Schubert in 1882.

Between Augustusburg and Hennersdorf, the forest has left no trail untouched. It's more of an obstacle course.
