View from the Hetzdorf Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great view from the viaduct in all directions. The access via the short but steep path should be carefully considered for inexperienced people. From Falkenau it is much further, but also much easier!

Hetzdorf Viaduct

Scenic to look at as it is worth the whole uphill drive!

The upper course of the Flöha and its most important tributaries (such as the Schwarzen Pockau) cross the extensive high moors of the Ore Mountains ridge. Rainwater collects in these acidic, oxygen-poor peat layers.

The beautiful autumn weather always entices you to go outside. A few autumn impressions along the Flöha. A stop at Rauenstein Castle and on to the Seidenbach dam. Unfortunately there is still construction work on the barrier wall. Finally, a beautiful garden railway was discovered at Reifland train station.

The path always leads along the Flöha to Hohenfichte (beautiful in autumn 🍂🍁🍂). Then you have to cycle along the road to the Hetzdorf viaduct. For the ascent to the Hetzdorfer Bastei we scrambled a bit off the official path🥵. The descent for this can be done by bike.
