A nice place for a break and to listen to and look at nature. Please take your trash with you and do not light a fire.

The Zschonergrund Nature Reserve is an absolutely idyllic spot. Trees provide cooling shade, and the Pennricher Bach and Zschonergrundbach streams meander through the forest.

We've often been to the puppet theater at the Zschon Mill with our grandchildren. As a child, I was particularly impressed by the "Robbers' Cave." They said you could go underground all the way to Fŕeital. But we only made it about 50 meters before fear drove us back out of the shaft. Jörg
