The tour is suitable for all-terrain strollers and small children, as well as dogs.



Ideal for hot weather, as the valley remains pleasantly cool. The tour can also be done in winter.



Starting point: "Meißner Hochland" bus stop in Lohmen (Bus 237 towards Sebnitz from Pirna)



Ending point: Stadt Wehlen train station

Traveling with a lot of comfort, wife and dog.

It was a short but very enjoyable tour. Climbing through the herring cave was fun, and seeing the fire salamander was a highlight.
