Kirnitzschtal Scenic Descent

Highlight • Trail

Only recommended if the hikers are not there yet (early in the morning or during the week).
Otherwise there is a risk that there is a lot of traffic and everything is parked.

Kirnitzschtalstraße Scenic Section (Without Tram)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fantastic, track-free section of the Kirnitzschtal road, which stretches between the Lichtenhain waterfall and the turnoff to Ottendorf or Hinterhermsdorf. The tram bravely chugs its way up the hill to the waterfall - after that it's free ride for everyone who wants to enjoy the idyllic valley without railway tracks! Unfortunately, drivers also take advantage of the freedom and like to step on the accelerator a little harder. A real feast for the eyes, especially in autumn, thanks to the brightly colored leaves. And hey, the asphalt? It's in pretty good shape overall - so no excuses!

Kirnitzschtalstraße

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

In the direction of travel uphill the rails run the Kirnitzschtal Bahn. The roadway between the rails is very uneven. You always have to drive between the rails when cars come from behind. Who plans a tour should cycle the Kirnitzschtal Berab!

Panoramic View of the Kirnitzsch Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

At this point you have a fantastic view of the opposite Kirnitzschtal and the surrounding mountains (e.g. Hohe Liebe) as well as towards Mitteldorf. There is a sign here listing all the mountains. Since there is also a parking lot here, it is easy to stop even if it is difficult to interrupt the rapid descent downhill. Still worth the look!

Wonderful round on the bike, difficulties in the first half manageable with a good level of fitness, then leisurely rolling through the Kirnitzschtal, finally a few meters along the Elbe.
