Unfortunately, the path was damaged by construction machinery, and in places it was so sandy that cycling through was impossible. Bikes had to be pushed.

Gorge? Well, at most a ravine! The official hiking trail is completely neglected and leaves questions unanswered.

A Slavic settlement called "Oberferch" is said to have existed here almost 1,000 years ago. According to Wikipedia, two villages were mentioned in the place register of Emperor Charles IV's land register from 1375: "Verch superior" and "Verch inferior," i.e., a lower and an upper village. The lower village burned down completely in the 15th century and remained deserted for a long time. The former residents moved to the upper village, today's Old Village. However, not much remains of Ferch's original origins. Today, there are numerous weekend properties scattered throughout the Ferch forest area. On the R1 cycle path from the direction of the cemetery/Kemnitz Heath, about 500 meters to the left before the motorway, there is a signpost to the Old Village. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferch

A forest worker's house from 1735, renovated in accordance with monument protection regulations: The house stands on the edge of the small forest settlement that formerly belonged to the Kemnitz estate. The settlement was first mentioned in documents in 1745 as Cemnitzsche Heyde. In addition to a forester's house, there were also houses for forest workers here. Today the Heidehaus can be booked as a holiday home. At the other end of the settlement there is a horse farm with a riding facility.

Unfortunately, it is no longer worth visiting here. A number of trees have fallen and are now blocking the path.
