- 4.6 (14)·Moderate·10.1 km·Est. 3.5–4 hrModerately difficult hike. Good basic fitness required. Predominantly easy paths. Sure-footedness required.

- 4.0 (15)·Moderate·13.7 km·Est. 4–4.5 hrClose-to-nature hike in the Saxon Switzerland National Park, Saxony. A natural, in some places almost wild hiking experience awaits you on this route in the German-Czech border region. You follow the Kirnitzsch river for several kilometres as it carves its way through gorges dug deep into the sandstone towards the Elbe. A real highlight is the boat trip in the footsteps of the wooden raftsmen from the Lower Lock to the Upper Lock. Sturdy shoes and sure-footedness, especially in wet weather...

From the cowshed, follow the red dot to the Lichtenhain waterfall. Continuing along the red dot, you come to the Beutelfall.

- 4.5 (8)·Moderate·10 km·Est. 3–3.5 hrIdyllic circular hike in the Saxon Switzerland National Park, Saxony. This hike takes you off the beaten tourist track through the beautiful forest landscape of Saxon Switzerland.

The trail follows the winding course of the Kirnitzsch, a small river that has carved deep into the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, following a mixture of level forest paths, narrow riverside trails, and historic bridge crossings. A central highlight is the gentle sound of the water amidst high rock faces, often accompanied by the sight of the historic Kirnitzschtal Tramway, the...
