Directions

The signpost at the bus stop shows the way towards the natural swimming pool and Nässa. From there, the route goes to Mehla and Brückla through the Triebes valley to reach the Fronweg. It is worth making a detour past the colorful manor house to the Reichenfels castle ruins. Straight ahead is Dörtendorf. Shortly after the waterworks, the path turns left to "Kranich" and returns to the starting point.
