A very beautiful hike to the Greifensteine rocks. The open-air stage is also located here, and you can get something to eat at the mountain lodge.

The spring of the “Forzbachl” is a popular destination for young and old. In the spring of 1932, the spring of the “Forzbachl” was laboriously enclosed by Mr. Weißbach, a citizen of Thalheim. The local group of the GDR Cultural Association redesigned the area in 1976. This spring water has been sought after since the 1930s for the traditional “Easter water fetching”. On the one hand, the custom says that whoever washes themselves with the water from the spring before sunrise on Easter Day will be blessed with eternal beauty. On the other hand, drinking coffee with Easter water brings good luck for the whole year. However, no word may be spoken until you reach the spring. A water analysis does not certify that the “Forzwasser” is of official drinking water quality, but a hike with a rest at the popular spot in the forest between Thalheim and Jahnsdorf is worthwhile at any time of year...
