Black Pockau River

Highlight • River

A good hiking trail leads from Hinterer Grund to Kühnhaide, always not far from the Schwarzen Pockau. First through a narrow, wooded valley and later across wide meadows. Pure relaxation.

Schwarzwassertal

Highlight • Gorge

In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful valleys anywhere. Impressive with its flora and fauna, it invites you to go hiking. So don't forget a picnic and plant identification app.

Nonnenfelsen (Schwarzwasser Valley)

Highlight • Climb

This imposing rock face rises dozens of meters high right next to the Black Pockau stream. The well-developed hiking trail leads over a small bridge from which you have a beautiful view of the Nonnenfelsen.
