The Karl May Cave, also known as the Little Iron Cave, is located in the Waldenburg Upper Forest near Hohenstein-Ernstthal. Originally a mine tunnel dating back to 1620, it was later used as a shelter. In 1869, Karl May hid here when he was wanted for theft. Five years later, he mentioned the cave in his story "The Rose of Ernstthal." It was officially named after him in 1933. During the GDR era, it was closed to the public. Today, however, it can be easily visited again and serves as a reminder of the famous author.

Well, who stacked that there? Really interesting rock formation, and the path there is also very beautiful.

what a beautiful landscape

The rock collection, popularly known as "Hockstein", is one of Markersdorf's many sights. On a hike through the forest, which begins on the northeastern edge of the town, you reach the Hocksteine at the high point of the path after several ups and downs. The position of the highest boulder looks so threatening that it is widely feared that it could fall at any moment. Consequently, the hiker hastens to pass through this place. The "perched" position of this boulder gave the collection its name. There are various legends surrounding the creation of the Hockstein. The Taura stone man is said to have created this rock massif when he built a new residence.

Nice destination, above Grüna.
