Loop
The Uttewalder Grund in Saxon Switzerland offers a unique hike through an impressive rocky landscape. A visit takes you through narrow gorges and past high sandstone formations. Particularly worth seeing is the Uttewalder Felsentor, a natural arch made of rock, which is a popular photo motif. The path, which is often shady and cool, runs alongside the Uttewalder stream and is lined with mosses and ferns, which give the gorge an almost fairytale atmosphere. Sturdy footwear is recommended on the sometimes stony and rooty paths.
