The tour connects the fox and pigeon ponds which were created in the 16th century for the purpose of rafting. At the end you can still enjoy a wonderful view over Rosenthal. With the exception of the upper Hühnerbergweg, everything can be used with a pram. As a tip, skip the Taubeteich and enjoy the time at the Fuchsteich.
Start at the bus stop: walk to the Schneeberger Kreuz in Rosenthal-Bielatal with the following bus lines:
217: (Pirna) - Bahratal - Petrovice - Tisa - Sneznik - Rosenthal - (Königstein)
242: Bielatal line: Königsstein-Rosenthal-Schneeberg-Tisa and back
245: Bielatal Line: Pirna-Leupoldishain-Rosenthal and back
Alternatively, the Zollhäuser car park can be used, which is subject to a fee.
Along the Fuchsbachstraße you get to the Fuchsteich, which invites you to linger with a covered seating area. After a rest, it goes over the upper Hühnerbergweg in the direction of Taubenteich. When you arrive at the pigeon pond, there are again various resting options available. Here you can also marvel at a shelter that was planned/built by architecture students from the TU Dresden.
The way back runs along the middle Hühnerbergweg, past Willis Ruh (Trekkinghütte Forststeig). At the beginning of the old Tetschner Straße there is another bank, which invites you to linger. At the end of the old Tetschner Straße you can still enjoy the vantage point "die Heide", which offers a good view of Rosenthal. Finally, it goes back to the bus stop via the Sommerhübelweg.

It sleeps about 20 people, ten in bunk beds downstairs and at least ten more on the newly renovated sleeping loft. There is a tiled stove with an open fire in the main room and a fireplace in the bedroom, seating and a composting toilet outside. The next source of water is probably the Taubenbach (about one and a half kilometers and about 100 meters in altitude away.
