Langenhennersdorf Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

If you climb the stairs to the right to the lip of the waterfall, you will see an upper entrance to the cave almost at the top. I didn't do this because I didn't have a headlamp with me.

Kleine Bastei Berggießhübel

Highlight • Viewpoint

Former viewpoint in the Gottleubatal. Meanwhile, the view is unfortunately overgrown but charming is this quiet place overlooking the forest with its small sandstone rocks anyway.

Very nice and varied hike, but unsuitable for strollers and disabled people

The route from Waldburg to the waterfall is very ugly along the road so that we walked the way back off-road above the waterfall across the field. That went very well and is more recommendable than road.

Unfortunately, the battery gave up on the last meters.
S is a very nice round. From the parking lot at the visitor mine via the old railway embankment (Pirna - Gottleuba) to Langenhennersdorf and then just above the road and then following the trout trail, past the Zwieselmühle and back. Very suitable for tours with children or seniors.
