Old stone bridge over the Schwarze Pockau

Highlight • Bridge

A very nice bridge in the moor area. You not only have a great perspective on the bridge, but also on the bridge a little further away.

Nonnenfelsen (Schwarzwasser Valley)

Highlight • Climb

This imposing rock face rises dozens of meters high right next to the Black Pockau stream. The well-developed hiking trail leads over a small bridge from which you have a beautiful view of the Nonnenfelsen.

Even if you've been there 10 times, you keep going back there. The black Pockau meanders picturesquely through the landscape which is very varied. Sometimes many 🌲🌳 very different 🌿🍀🌻🌼🌸 …

Schwarzwassertal

Highlight • Gorge

In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful valleys anywhere. Impressive with its flora and fauna, it invites you to go hiking. So don't forget a picnic and plant identification app.

Black Pockau River

Highlight • River

A good hiking trail leads from Hinterer Grund to Kühnhaide, always not far from the Schwarzen Pockau. First through a narrow, wooded valley and later across wide meadows. Pure relaxation.

Today, I went for a ride in the Ore Mountains. It would be very beautiful there, if only I didn't have to constantly jump aside for the electric bikes. What a nuisance...
I'm glad I have the quiet paths in Saxon Switzerland.

Another beautiful hike in the Schwarzwassertal, but one that I cannot recommend without reservation. The path to the ruins of the Liebenstein robber castle, but especially the descent on the Hofmann-Steig are difficult, especially when the ground is wet.
