Quarksteine Rocks and Legend Trail

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Crinitzer water has to be crossed by a ford between the quark stones and the Wolfersgrün dam. There is no bridge. So shoes off and through!

Quarksteine Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

This rock formation worth seeing is surrounded by a legend and has a fascinating appearance ... the hike through the forest and the valley of the Crinitzer water is also worthwhile.

Lizard Habitats at Kirchberger Granit Dam

Highlight • Natural Monument

The last descendants of the dinosaurs in small format are at home at the dam - the sand lizards. The sand lizards mainly live in the embankment of the dam. The piles of stones erected at the foot of the air side along the stream were made as "replacement apartments" for the sand lizards during the construction work to renovate the dam in 2011-12, but now also offer protection to many other animals such as the slow worm.

Wolfersgrün Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Unfortunately, no one cares about the formerly beautiful circuit. Meanwhile, this is even locked and you have to make your own way through the undergrowth. Too bad, but the more you do, the sooner a new path will emerge.

Filzteich Peninsula

Highlight • Lake

On the north side of the Filzteich, a spit of land about 30 metres long and in parts three metres wide, reaching up to ten metres wide at the end, leads into the water. A wonderful place to enjoy peace and quiet and to observe all kinds of animals.

After a 3 month break it started again, of course I would have had to cross a small river, then luckily I found 2 tree trunks 200 meters further down that someone had already laid down to cross😊

Very nice hiking trails through forest and across meadows. Unfortunately the bridge was unusable due to flooding.

A wonderful tour, lots of water, forest, meadows, birds. Simply everything included. Including crossing a ford to get back. A pub cure at this time of year...
