Damengrund Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

From Pötzscha to Naundorf, the eager hiker goes through the so-called Damengrund.
The spruce forests and individual sandstones already set the mood for the larger highlights on the upper level.
Once at the top, the paths split in the direction of the Bärensteine.

Little Bärenstein

Highlight • Summit

The Bärensteine are ideal for short hiking tours with the family. The view from Kleine Bärenstein is breathtaking, as is the case with all the table mountains.
