description: "A circular route through the Tharandter Forest starting from the spa town of Hartha. It first passes the Ernemann Hut. This is named after Heinrich Ernemann, a Dresden entrepreneur in the cinema and photo industry. He owned a villa called \"Heinrichs Eck\" built in 1900 in the spa town of Hartha (today: Am Hartheberg 21) and was a patron of the town. The route continues into the valley of the Triebisch to the Kling Spring. Then we hike by the sandstone quarry \"Spechtshausen Switzerland\" up to the basalt quarry at Ascherhübel with the Witch's Cottage. At the \"Snack Bar at the Forest Edge\" in Spechtshausen, there is an opportunity to stop. Afterwards, the route goes on to the Spechtshausen Forestry Office and the Prussian Redoubt from 1762. Over the Bell Chair in the spa town of Hartha, we return to the starting point."
