Beautiful, straight alley of birch trees with an informative board about the planter of the trees, Johann Günzel.

The path leading there—both up from the hollow and from the right—has been widened and smoothed. It's definitely not as wild as it once was.

Many paths lead across the Zwickauer Mulde... The numerous bridges in the region are as typical as the Zwickauer Mulde. Whether made of stone or as suspension bridges, they are essential for crossing the river. Source: https://www.rochlitzer-muldental.de/region-entdecken/lebendige-geschichte/item/1587-brucken-1587
