Basalt Quarry and Hexenhäusl

Highlight • Natural Monument

You are standing here in a volcanic cone that collapsed in prehistoric times. The columnar basalt was mined here until 1913. And the witch's house was - hard to believe - the house of the demolition expert. It was converted into a shelter in 1930/1952.

At this BLOCKLINE location (Frauenstein shelter, Gimmlitztal), you might encounter a black woodpecker.

Starting from the starting point (Holzhau), you are at kilometer 57.4 of the BLOCKLINE route (stage 7). From here, it's another 3.5 km to the stage finish in Frauenstein.

Silver Classroom, Gimmlitz Valley

Highlight • Rest Area

You can learn something about mining in the region in Gimmlitztal in the silver classroom. Various information boards tell something about the history, you can test your knowledge of mining terms on a pin board and you can pump and scoop water yourself and run it over a water wheel. This beautiful square was designed with the help of the region's fire brigade and maintained by volunteers. If you like, you can rest here and listen to the birds or the nearby river. Not far from here you can also find the remains of old mills and an ore wash.

Many people confuse it. The area is called Stille Liebe (Silent Love), the shelter Waldblick (Forest View), which also has a summit register.

Impressive basalt quarry and rest area with a witch's cottage in the Tharandt Forest. Information: In the old quarry (in operation until 1913), basalt is exposed over a length of 80 meters and an average height of 16 meters. The striking formation of the predominantly five- to six-sided columns led the Saxon authorities to designate it a natural monument as early as 1939. The quarry, with its small "witch's cottage," is a popular destination for day trips.
