Rapids at the Old Grubenwehr Dreiwerden

Highlight • River

Here at the old Drei Werden mine weir, the Zschopau turns westwards with a powerful rush to take a detour through the subsequent river loop. Pure hiking enjoyment!

Nice round with unfortunately partly bad paths. Broken wood and loose roadsides do not bode well for the future.

Today the first spring weather was used and we went along the Zschopau.
This path is not suitable for children and hikers who are not sure-footed, as it was very narrow in places and there were no barriers at all. In terms of scenery, however, it was a dream.

From the Fischerschänke to the Wasserschänke and on to Schönborn Drei Werden. We're back via the Zschopau and directly along the Zschopau. The paths were very wet, as was the weather today, but still a nice hike, since hardly anyone was on the road.
