    Hiking

    There used to be the Thorwalder Gratweg, a ridge path that ran directly along the edge of the cliff. With over 2,500 steps and ladders, it was one of the most spectacular trails in Saxon Switzerland. Important: This path was officially closed in 1981 for nature conservation reasons. Today, it is largely overgrown or blocked by deadwood. Entering the path is considered an offense.
