Highlight • Cycleway

A nice route through the valley. When crossing the rails of the Kirnitzschbahn, cyclists have to be a little careful not to get their tires into the rails.

A wonderful tour with some ups and downs. The panoramic views were great. A stop at the Wachbergbaude is highly recommended. From Hinterhermsdorf it was a wonderful ride along the Saxon Switzerland cycle route along the Kirnitzsch towards the Elbe valley.
