ラインハルトシュドルフ-シェーナの滝・トップ20

Closed from 16 June until 27 July 2025 due to repair work on the path and embankment. We saw the signs with this notice yesterday, 12 June.

Below the castle was the bear garden. The bears were kept in check with a considerable wall. The Schindergraben runs directly through the garden and has a beautiful wall passage. The metal grille has already oxidized away. Great to look at and nice and cool and shady. A narrow, bumpy path begins here down into the valley. Difficult to walk, especially when there is oncoming traffic.

The former bear garden of the Elector of Saxony. The animals went to the kennel or zoo in Dresden.

Here, where the water makes its way through the rocks, a scenery unfolds that invites you to dream and linger. The waterfall is a special highlight - even though it was not created like traditional waterfalls. Rather, this is an artificially created overflowing weir, the function of which not only pleases the eye, but also has practical benefits: it stores the water for the boats waiting at the pier. And right here, at the foot of this impressive structure, a 10-20 minute boat ride begins that takes visitors through the heart of the gorge, past natural beauties.

Nice little waterfall right on the way.

Remains of an old bear kennel... today a stream flows through here
