View of Hirschsprung Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

A rocky peak high above the valley on which a wooden deer visible from the valley floor is reminiscent of the legend according to which deer that were cornered here tried to save themselves by jumping from the rock.

Selbitz Viaduct (Höllental Railway)

Highlight • Bridge

The arched bridge of the Höllentalbahn, which ran between Triptis and Marxgrün, was in use from 1895 to 1945. After that, the railway line leading to Thuringia was discontinued. The Selbitz Viaduct is now a lost place.
