Schrammtorwächter

Highlight • Natural

Great rock formation you are hiking through here… maybe you can also watch climbers pursuing their hobby

The Schrammsteinweg is a great hiking trail, but very busy at peak times. It leads from the Schrammsteintor to the Wildschützensteig ascent (one-way street only up) or Jägersteig (up to the ridge path).

Little Prebischtor

Highlight • Natural Monument

Maybe not quite as big as the big brother in Bohemian Switzerland, but right on Malerweg. The fact that nature has formed such a gate directly from the sandstone is still incredible.

May 2, 2024,Sächsische Schweiz Tag 6 - Malerweg 4. Etappe

Well fortified, we began our tour with the historic Kirnitzschtalbahn through the beautiful Kirnitzschtal from Bad Schandau to the Lichtenhain waterfall, which is unfortunately currently closed to visitors due to construction work.
From there we set off on the Malerweg towards Ostrau.
Past bizarre rock motifs and on soft forest paths and trails, we headed towards Schrammsteine, a long, picturesquely …

July 26, 2024,Malerweg Etappe 4 Bad Schandau-Lichtenhainer Wasserfall

Well rested, well slept and breakfasted, our tour begins along the Flößersteig to the Ostrauer Mühle. There we then rejoin the Malerweg.
We climbed up to the Falkenstein lookout point via a beautiful root path.
This majestic-looking rock is very impressive at 378 meters.
A little later we crossed the Schrammsteinweg right through the two rock formations Schrammtorwächter and Osterturm. …

June 15, 2025,Malerweg Etappe 3: Ostrauer Mühle - Schrammsteine - Affensteine - Kuhstall

Since the first two stages, each about 25 km long, were quite exhausting, I decided to do shorter stages of around 15 km from now on. Today I started at the Ostrauer Mühle campsite, where the bus and the Kirnitschtalbahn from Bad Schandau also stop. Then I climbed a few steps and ladders up to the Schrammsteine, where I sat …

April 7, 2023,Tag 6 in der Sächs Schweiz ⛰️ „Malerweg“ 👨‍🎨 Start im Kirnitzschtal Ostrauer Mühle über die Schrammsteine in Schleife bis rüber zum Kuhstall zurück ins Kirnitzschtal - 16km/24k Schritte

Although it was "only" almost 600 meters in altitude, it was harder than the last few days.
Although it was "only" 16km today, it was good on the substance.

Start with the bus to the Kirnitzschtal to the Ostrauer Mühle campsite - then we went along the Schrammsteinweg to the Schrammtor - and further on the back to the Schrammstein …

July 14, 2022,4. Etappe Malerweg Altendorf - Kirnitzschtal

So from Altendorf it is about 3 km to Bad Schandau.
But we are so stupid 😅😅 and prefer to hike 20 km to experience something. Crazy or ❓

Unfortunately, the descent into the Kirnitzschtal via the Dorfbachklamm is still closed 🚫. Such a crap. Via a detour down into the valley, and then immediately after a small bridge back …

May 19, 2026,🇩🇪 Die Faszination der Täler und Gebirge des Malerwegs - Etappe 4 - Vom Campingplatz Ostrauer Mühle zur Neumannmühle

Unfortunately, you cannot bring your own food or cook it there at the Neumannmühle. The Lichtenhainer waterfall is, in my opinion, not that spectacular. The Carolafelsen is highly recommended. Somehow a bit mystical and great rocks to discover.
