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!

The loop starts at the "Schloss" parking lot (free but fills up quickly).
At the Sachsenburg Memorial, cross the suspension bridge to the other side of the Zschopau River. From there, take the Zschopau Valley Hiking Trail and the Wiesenweg to the Dreiwerden Weir.
From there, cross the Rossau Bridge to the other side and from there take the Zschopau …

Directly at the parking lot the stairs go up to Sachsenburg Castle, if you would like to add a small extension :)

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.

I only ran recently, today I had company 😊. And it was a lot greener than last time 🌿🌿☀️

🐾🥾 It was a beautiful spring-like hike with small alpine sections. Surefootedness was very important. 🌤🐾🥾

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.
