エルツ山地の峡谷・トップ20

The rock massif between Wolkenstein and Floßplatz, the "Wolkenstein Switzerland", is a great place for hiking with small scrambles and wonderful views, but there are also many opportunities for climbing here 🙃.

The origin of such a notch could be a geological fault with rock material that is more susceptible to erosion.

The path through the Wolfsschlucht leads down to the river. This is also where the via ferrata starts.

The deep valley with exposed gneiss is the result of the erosion of the Zschopau, which rises on the Fichtelberg and has been flowing in a northerly direction with a greater gradient since the uplift of the Ore Mountains block in the Tertiary period, and flows into the Freiberg Mulde near Döbeln. Steep, often bizarre rock faces are created on steep slopes by the increased flow speed. The most impressive formation is probably an overhanging cliff.

The sign is located at the access point to the impressive bridge cliff.

The area near the eponymous town of Tisá (Tyssa), with its up to 30 m high cliffs, is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Bohemian Switzerland. The Tyssa Walls are located at a height of around 600 m above sea level. An entrance fee is charged for entry into the rock labyrinth - when we were there, the ticket office was closed, so we saved money. Many of the rocks have names that are actually accurate when you look closely - e.g. the porcini mushroom, or the outline of Africa. The 4 km long circular route is not too difficult, but it is not possible to do it without stairs and ladders. And there is also a mayor here.

The small donation doesn't hurt, you can give the operators a small donation, then immerse yourself in a country of thousands of hiking enthusiasts.🇨🇿✌️🫠📸

If you like rock formations, this is the place for you. There is so much to discover that you can plan a whole day here.
