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 🙃.

Here begins the descent into the Wolfsschlucht and access to the via ferratas.

Wolkenstein Castle is a high medieval castle that was first mentioned in documents in the 13th century. The town and castle stand on gneiss rocks 80 meters above the Zschopau valley. Wolkenstein owes its existence to the "Berggeschrei" (the cries of the mountain), that is, the discovery of the ore deposits. The settlement and ore mining is older than that of Annaberg-Buchholz.

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.

Hetzdorf Viaduct. This is a listed former railway bridge on the Dresden–Werdau railway line over the Flöha Valley in Hetzdorf. The railway section over this bridge was closed in 1992. It's well worth a visit. You can climb it and even walk across it.

An absolute highlight of Wolkenstein Switzerland 🤩
