Behind the inscription stone from 1880, a wooden sign with a „romantic“ poem and the picture of a blackbird rises. But this bird did not give the place its name. Below the bank rock, there was once a ford and a ferry point, where logs were pulled from the river on a rope - from this came „Amsel“ - and loaded onto carts. Next to the rock, the old haulage road can still be recognized. Recently, a covered rest area has invited visitors to linger here. View overgrown, from the rest area you don't see much of the Zschopau. https://www.mittweida.de/fileadmin/Tourismus/Wandern/schweizerwald.pdf

Forest path along the Schweikershainer Bach. The path is good for hiking, but only suitable for gravel bikes if it hasn't rained for a long time.
