Highlight • Natural Monument

Although the Hercules Columns are the figurehead on some hiking maps in the area, you mostly move away from the tourist streams to reach the bizarre rock towers.

Especially at sunrise and sunset you can enjoy the great view of the village Ostrov on the Czech side. If you are well equipped, you can enjoy the night under the open sky with a view of the Milky Way.

Very nice walk, a bit steep ascent and descent but very worth seeing

September 7, 2024,Forststeig Elbsandstein - Von der Schweizermühle zum Grenzweg (Bus-Schweizermühle - Bus-Fußweg zum Schneeberg)

Today we're going to start with the Forststeig Elbsandstein as a public transport hike, not as a trekking tour. I found this section through the Bielatal extremely remarkable, as many unknown climbing routes were incorporated, as well as well-known highlights such as the Grenzplatte. Everything was very strenuous and with a lot of variety. I'm already looking forward to the …

June 2, 2025,Kamphütte - Roststeinhütte (Forststeig tour 4)

The fourth tour started off fairly easily and led us past two springs. The first spring wasn't as good but had lots of notes. The second spring, on the other hand, was very good in terms of water, and also had a few notes. We continued up to the Grenzplatte, which offers a very good view. Before that, there are …

The quiet, morning forest is really beautiful. When the birds are chirping, the sun is looking for its way through the trees, you still have all the paths to yourself with your best friend...
In fact, it was surprisingly empty in the Bielatal today. We had expected mass migrations. Even most of the peaks remained empty today. 😅 But of …

May 14, 2025,Forststeig E3: Kamphütte - Rotsteinhütte

Wildly romantic Bielatal 🤩!
Thanks to five guys from Berlin who checked their IBU supplies and gave me a full blister pack (?), I'm off to continue. Thanks!!!
The descent into the valley leads through a beautiful, wild rocky landscape. Then follows a short climb with a detour to the Ice Hole and the Swedish Cave. I would have ventured …

August 14, 2021,Unterwegs auf dem Forststeig von Rosenthal bis Willys Ruh

Our first stage of 2 began at the Brausenstein bus stop and led us towards Grenzplatte. On the way there were plenty of opportunities to snack on raspberries / blackberries / blueberries. The marking of the forest trail is really sharp up to the border, then it subsides a little. The destination of the day was the Willys Ruh trekking …

June 8, 2022,Bielatal bis zur Grenze

Today I explored the Bielatal, which was completely unknown to me, and which has wonderful destinations in store.
We started at the Schweizer Mühle in a paid but very large parking lot and climbed a few steps to the Kaiser Wilhelm Festival. There is a lot to see along the way. Many small rocky outcrops with old stone steps enable …
