Tiefer Grund Stream Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Woody, shady; most beautiful in spring and autumn. Starting point or destination of wonderful hiking opportunities. The road parallel to the ground is more suitable for cycling tours.

Hafersäcke Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The oat-baked view offers a beautiful view into a side valley of the Polenztal. Although the viewpoint is secured with railings, but you should pay particular attention to children, as you can get quite close to the abyss.

Schulzengrund Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Picturesque and beautiful à la Saxon Switzerland. 😊 The path can also be good with good footwear.

And whoever arrives at the top expects the Gastro in the Brandbaude. 😉

The starting point is the Porschdorf stop or the parking lot at Polenztal in Porschdorf. This is where our trail (blue line) begins into the Tiefen Grund. The trail winds along the Tiefen Grundbach stream, sometimes climbing slightly and then descending again to the stream. Later, we turn left and hike

The tour is suitable for children, but only partially suitable for dogs due to the iron staircase on the fire steps. Smaller dogs can be carried, while larger dogs may benefit from wearing shoes.



Starting and ending point:

U28 towards Rumburk from Bad Schandau National Park Station - Porschdorf stop or Porschdorf parking lot
