Our little half-day tour that covers roughly nine kilometres offers both diverse trails and plenty for the eye to see. The start of the tour leads through the small – and only – via ferrata in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, the Häntzschelstiege. It then climbs upward on narrow paths, passing by craggy rock formations and climbing areas before winding through enchanted mixed forests. Pure variety! If you do not want to give the via ferrata a try, you can always hike around it. You can take a short break at a vast number of places along the way. In order to ensure that you can really enjoy them, an early start is recommended.
