Stiegen und Steige rund um den Schmilkaer Kessel

• Danger posed by deadwood in the lower part of the mountain trail: There is an increased risk of falling trees in the lower part of the mountain trail due to standing deadwood. We recommend taking the Erlsgrund and Winterbergstraße routes instead. Areas with a lot of standing deadwood should be avoided, especially in windy, rainy, or snowy conditions.

It starts at the ferry pier in Schmilka and leads over the small bastion to the Rotkehlchenstiege. The steps of the Rotkehlchensteige were built to overcome the uneven relief of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and require a certain amount of surefootedness, caution and climbing experience. The route then continues to the Wenzelwand. There are magnificent views along the way. The paths are very well marked, making it easy to find your way around. Highlights: - Wonderful views - Local flora and fauna - Varied natural landscapes
