This trail follows in the footsteps of famous painters such as Caspar David Friedrich, who were inspired long ago by the imposing Uttewalder Felsentor. The trail winds through cool, deeply carved valleys where mosses and ferns thrive magnificently, creating an almost mystical atmosphere. Along the way, Amsel Lake invites you to take a short break by the water before reaching the destination in the spa town of Rathen. It is important to note that this route involves many steps, which may pose a challenge for some dogs.
