Mountain Stream in Sächsische Schweiz

Highlight (Segment) • River

From Schmilka you immediately come to this section, which is initially tarred and then splits into different paths and branches.
So you could say the beginning of many great tours 😉😁

Robin's Steps

Highlight • Climb

The robin staircase is undoubtedly one of the loveliest stairs and kids have fun as well. Easily usable as fast descent to Schmilka. Once at the top, the monkeys or the Schrammsteine are at your feet.
