If you like lost places, you shouldn't miss this wonderful tour. A shady tour through the Wesenitz Gorge. 4 lost places that tell stories about the water of the Wesenitz.
An amazingly good listening experience for musicians and Richard Wagner fans if you have some time and can let the music sink in.
On this tour you can feel how …

Beautiful route with sheer relaxation. When few people are out and about, it becomes even more relaxing. Highly recommended as some former technical highlights are very interesting.

Today it was 11 km through the Liebethaler Grund (near Pirna), always along the Wesenitz, all the way to the Niezel power plant.
Past the old power station, Richard Wagner monument, Lochmühle, Daubemühle, Lohmen Castle, Lohmen Gorge, the old Niezelgrund hydroelectric power station and back again.
Was very nice and relaxed.
A wonderful peace in the forest, no tourists on …

There are a few mills and hydroelectric power plants in …
