Old stone bridge over the Schwarze Pockau

Highlight • Bridge

A very nice bridge in the moor area. You not only have a great perspective on the bridge, but also on the bridge a little further away.

Green Trench Entrance

Highlight • Structure

Leaving the path along the Black Pockau River towards Katzenstein, we re-enter the forest and are now accompanied by the Green Ditch.

An artificial ditch, constructed in the 17th century to aid mining.

Miniature Village with Waterwheel on Grüner Graben

Highlight • Structure

Very lovingly designed miniature landscape at the Grüner Graben – even with its own water supply. May it be preserved for a long time.

Grüner Graben (Green Ditch) in the Schwarzwassertal

A narrow path leads along the Grüner Graben through the middle of the forest. You can stop at Kaffee Kurt as far as the Katzenstein. Nice comfortable hiking trail.

There are several ways to climb the Katzenstein from the Schwarzwassertal. However, you also have the option of driving via Pobershau to the hiking car park at Katzenstein and then walking a few meters.
