One of the most dangerous places in the Zschonergrund has disappeared. Grating has now been laid over the rocky section so that the slope water can flow unhindered into the stream and the section can be safely walked on.

We took advantage of the second to last day of midsummer and hiked to the Zschoner Mill. The tour of the mill there is an absolute highlight (1 hour).

A perfect sunny and shady route along the idyllic Zschonergrundbach, two very nice places to stop for a break are at Podemus and the Zschoner Mühle. The panoramic view over Dresden is also impressive.
