Polenztal Guesthouse & Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

Located in the middle of the Polenz Valley, there are plenty of opportunities to swarm from here. Hohnstein, Hockstein, Rathen and much more - you can reach everything through this beautiful sandstone gorge.

Gautsch Grotto

Highlight • Cave

As in some places in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, the rock formation also arouses awe here. In addition to the size of this cave you act as a human being in the face of nature.

Hafersäcke Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The oat-baked view offers a beautiful view into a side valley of the Polenztal. Although the viewpoint is secured with railings, but you should pay particular attention to children, as you can get quite close to the abyss.
