View of Elsterberg from Kriebelstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Well-marked hiking trails lead to the Kriebelstein (407 meters) with magnificent panoramic views, into the Steinicht nature reserve or across the state border into Thuringia.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, you will find it in the Elstertal between Elsterberg and Barthmühle train station. The White Elster flows contemplatively in her bed, then again with a slight temper, because her stones have been "placed" in the bed😉. This hike was a haven of peace for me after a strenuous week at work!

Just beautiful😍 You don't necessarily need ankle-high hiking shoes, but flip-flops and sandals are definitely not appropriate!
