Heidelbach valley and goat rock

From the market, we walk downhill and cross the Zschopau below the Wolkenstein Switzerland, which is also popular with rock climbers. The Heidelbach, which we follow from its mouth after crossing the B101, has also created a romantic valley. Steep gneiss cliffs and dense beech stands give rise to the name “Holy Halls.” After passing the remains of an old limestone mine, we change sides of the stream. At first, we are still accompanied by spruce forest, but soon a scenic country path leads to the Waldhufendorf Schönbrunn. A detour to the goat rock offers views of the railway line and the small town of Wolkenstein, which we approach after crossing the river valley.
