Highlight • Trail

This path is not marked at Komoot, but you can walk a few hundred meters along the river bank. There are also a couple of direct accesses to the water. Very nice, especially in the evening sun.

An unexpected sight, like boulders that don't belong in the area. A small plaque with a medieval legend accompanies it.

An impressive natural monument located directly in the Elbe stream. The origin of the boulders is not scientifically explained.
