Loop
This wildly romantic and deeply relaxing hike leads through one of the most beautiful valleys 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 world's only tram that runs into a national park. The route features almost no inclines, making it ideal for leisure seekers, families, and photographers.
