Green Trench Entrance

Highlight • Structure

Leaving the path along the Black Pockau River towards Katzenstein, we re-enter the forest and are now accompanied by the Green Ditch.

An artificial ditch, constructed in the 17th century to aid mining.

Old stone bridge over the Schwarze Pockau

Highlight • Bridge

A very nice bridge in the moor area. You not only have a great perspective on the bridge, but also on the bridge a little further away.

Nonnenfelsen (Schwarzwasser Valley)

This imposing rock face rises dozens of meters high right next to the Black Pockau stream. The well-developed hiking trail leads over a small bridge from which you have a beautiful view of the Nonnenfelsen.

Schwarze Pockau Rest Area

Even if you've been there 10 times, you keep going back there. The black Pockau meanders picturesquely through the landscape which is very varied. Sometimes many 🌲🌳 very different 🌿🍀🌻🌼🌸 …

Schwarzwassertal

Highlight • Gorge

In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful valleys anywhere. Impressive with its flora and fauna, it invites you to go hiking. So don't forget a picnic and plant identification app.

Black Pockau River

Highlight • River

A good hiking trail leads from Hinterer Grund to Kühnhaide, always not far from the Schwarzen Pockau. First through a narrow, wooded valley and later across wide meadows. Pure relaxation.

The valley of the "Schwarze Pockau," often simply called the Schwarzwassertal. In Kühnhaide, opposite the Schwarzwassertal guesthouse, there is a free hiking parking lot from which you can start your tour through this beautiful area.
