March 25, 2024,🇨🇿 CZ - Wanderung zum Prebischtor

Relatively easy hike to Prebischtor. The forests are still badly affected by the 2022 forest fire. Several hiking trails (see maps/photos) are still closed.
Apparently you can only get to the upper viewing points at Prebischtor when Falkenstein Castle is open. Unfortunately closed at our time (weekdays before Easter) and still under construction.

Due to the big fire last year, the path to the Pravcicka Gate did not lead through
chte.
The path to Mezní and the Edmund Gorge are still closed, so a circular route is not possible.
Nevertheless, the Pravcicka Gate is definitely worth a visit.

Here was one of the centers of the devastating forest fire in Bohemian Switzerland in the summer of 2022. Fortunately, the fire did not spread to the Prebischtor.
The actually planned way back (as a circular route) through the Kamnitzklamm is still closed. A result of the forest fire.

We started from the last parking lot, just outside the village, and only wanted to go to the Prebischtor. From here it is a good 3.5 km uphill until you reach the gate. Until then it will be easy peasy!

Last hike before heading home.
The Prebischtor is a must for anyone traveling in Saxony. But it's like a procession, which isn't exactly my idea of hiking. We couldn't combine it with the Edmundsklamm because tree felling work is scheduled to take place until mid-June.
That's why we do the tour at the end so you can still drive home …

Actually we wanted to walk a circular route 🥾🤔. Unfortunately, only the ascent was possible, the rest of the route was closed 😒 and we had to go back the same way 😒🥾🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

After a major fire in the summer of 2022, the aftermath is still visible, but nature is returning. To get up close, you pay the entrance fee at the top.
