July 11, 2026,Wasserfall und Kuhstall (Felsentor) – Aussicht auf die Sandsteinfelsen Runde von Lichtenhain

With the most beautiful hiking weather, it was a wonderfully varied tour, with super great single trails. In some places with the help of hands 😜🌿

The tour offers two places to stop for refreshments. At the Lichtenhainer waterfall and at the Kuhstall.
Both are recommended
