April 6, 2025,Höllengrund Runde von Dürrhennersdorf

Today we went to Hölle, a Komoot recommendation. The Höllengrund near Dürrhennersdorf is always worth a visit. There's also a small parking lot for hikers at the viaduct. On the trail we did, you can only imagine what agriculture once existed. There are many abandoned farms here. You can also discover and learn about the once important linen industry.
