The descent to the Upper Lock is the path from the Buchenparkhalle in the Kirnitzschtal valley down to the boat station, where you can take a boat trip on the lake. The path is mostly made up of wooden steps and is an easy hike of about 45 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a wide, less steep forest path.

It's about a 35-minute walk from the parking lot in Hinterhermsdorf to the Upper Lock in the Kirnitzsch Gorge. The hiking trails are well signposted and vary in difficulty. See: https://www.saechsische-schweiz-touristik.de/elbsandstein/entdecken-erleben/ausflugsziele/details/obere-schleuse.html

The Upper Lock is a historic timber rafting facility and a popular nature experience in the Kirnitzsch Valley, located near Hinterhermsdorf and belonging to the municipality of Sebnitz. Guests can take a 20-minute boat trip, gliding through the narrow gorge and marveling at bizarre rock formations. The tour starts after a hike from the Buchenparkhalle parking lot.

The Flößersteig trail along the Kirnitzsch River is challenging and difficult, and only suitable for experienced hikers who have a good sense of surefootedness and a head for heights. The trail is very narrow and exposed in places, requiring a good fear of heights.
