Above Thum, enjoy a beautiful view as far as the Erzgebirge ridge.
If you hike through the romantic rocky landscape in the forest near the city center, the path leads over the Bastei to the Georgstein and further to the Georgfelsen lookout point, which rewards you with a beautiful view far into the landscape.

Oak Avenue near Thum

Highlight • Trail

Gnarled oaks line the path (approx. 400m). Every nature lover has great joy here.
If you bring a bit of imagination, you can also see two embracing birch trees. One of them also has a face.

Bastei (Thum) Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

After a steep climb up the stairs amidst the rocky landscape, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful view and fresh forest air.

The Bastei is hidden in a rocky landscape close to Thum's market square, in the forest that stretches between Thum and Herold. You enter through a wooden portal, and a well-marked, romantic forest path leads you further.

Not far from the Bastei is another higher vantage point in the forest, the Georgfelsen, as well as the Wettinplatz, a former manor cemetery.
