Black Pockau River

Highlight • River

A good hiking trail leads from Hinterer Grund to Kühnhaide, always not far from the Schwarzen Pockau. First through a narrow, wooded valley and later across wide meadows. Pure relaxation.

Nonnenfelsen (Schwarzwasser Valley)

Highlight • Climb

This imposing rock face rises dozens of meters high right next to the Black Pockau stream. The well-developed hiking trail leads over a small bridge from which you have a beautiful view of the Nonnenfelsen.

Old stone bridge over the Schwarze Pockau

Highlight • Bridge

A very nice bridge in the moor area. You not only have a great perspective on the bridge, but also on the bridge a little further away.

Grüner Graben (Schwarzwasser Valley)

Very beautiful section of the Green Ditch around Kaffee Kurt. When there is not too much going on, you can feel the touch of wilderness.

Miniature Village with Waterwheel on Grüner Graben

Highlight • Structure

Very lovingly designed miniature landscape at the Grüner Graben – even with its own water supply. May it be preserved for a long time.

There are several ways to climb the Katzenstein from the Schwarzwassertal. However, you also have the option of driving via Pobershau to the hiking car park at Katzenstein and then walking a few meters.

Great hiking weather🌤️🥾was forecast, so we set off from the hiking car park through the beautiful Schwarzwasser valley and back along the Grüner Graben. The hiking trail along the Grüner Graben is being repaired, and a diversion is well signposted.

It was supposed to be a very special hike! Our hiking friends invited us to hike the valley of the Schwarzen Bockau again!

Back on June 19th, 2021, during the Corona period, when we hiked in the Schwarzwassertal for the first time, this landscape enchanted us! And so this invitation came at a very convenient time for us!

A very scenic tour through the Schwarzwassertal Valley.

Let's start with the Stiftzkanzel and the Morgensternhöhe with their distant views.

The path through the valley along the Schwarzen Pockau is quaint and mystical.

The return route from the Schwarzwassertal crossroads, now in heavy rain, leads us partly along the Grünengraben.

I actually just wanted to do a little walk around Hinterer Grund and look at the Stiftskanzel and the trees growing out of the wall, among other things. But everything turned out differently. Hiking car park in Hinterer Grund closed, path to Stiftskanzel too risky due to frost and leaves, construction containers on the wall with the trees. I then …

This week we wanted to meet up with friends from Malz/Oranienburg for a hike. We were able to get two rooms at the 3 Brüder Höhe near Marienberg at a reasonable price through Booking. The hike started in Popershau and ended in the Schwarzwassertal valley. First, we went to a Canadian-style holiday village with a llama enclosure and grizzly saloon. …

It's Monday again, and the final move is upon us. After Pirna and Sebnitz, it's a good two hours and 150 kilometers further into the Ore Mountains, to Wolkenstein.

We actually wanted to hike in Saxon Switzerland one last time and then drive. In the end, we decided to drive first and then hike. We started at the hiking car …
