very nice corner. Always worth a visit

The Floßgrabenweg is a real highlight. Surrounded by an idyllic landscape.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls I know 😍. If you continue the hike to the right, you can see the waterfall from above 😊.

The largest waterfall in Saxony and one of the highest German waterfalls outside the Alps is located in the immediate vicinity of Blauenthal. This former site of a flour and board mill was bought by Andreas Blau around 1530 and converted into a hammer mill. After the First World War, the owner of the paper factory had a new ditch dug above a steep rock face in order to use the water to drive his turbines. On Sundays and public holidays, the machines stood still and the water rushed down into the valley.

History Plans for a dam in the Zwickauer Mulde valley in the area of the current dam wall had been in place since 1890, and these plans became more concrete in 1908. For this reason, plans for an extension of the Neidhardtsthal paper factory were abandoned in 1905. In September 1915, the Royal District Administration of Schwarzenberg announced in the Schönheider Wochenblatt that preparatory work was being carried out for the dams on the Zwickauer Mulde near Eibenstock and on the Kleine Bockau near Sosa. The work would affect the areas of Neidhardtsthal, Muldenhammer, Hundshübel, Eibenstock, Schönheide, Schönheiderhammer, Unterstützengrün, Sosa, Blauenthal and Wildenthal. In 1919, however, the Saxon government announced that the dam project was being abandoned. It was only the growing population numbers in Zwickau and Chemnitz in the 1960s that gave rise to the old planning considerations again.

Always very impressive

Because, on the one hand, it is beautiful there and the place invites you to linger for a while.
