There are several ways to climb the Katzenstein from the Schwarzwassertal. However, you also have the option of driving via Pobershau to the hiking car park at Katzenstein and then walking a few meters.

Very beautiful section of the Green Ditch around Kaffee Kurt. When there is not too much going on, you can feel the touch of wilderness.

The Teufelsmauer is a very popular climbing rock and a nice photo opportunity right next to the Black Pockau.

This imposing rock face rises dozens of meters high right next to the Black Pockau stream. The well-developed hiking trail leads over a small bridge from which you have a beautiful view of the Nonnenfelsen.

Schwarzwassertal

Highlight • Gorge

In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful valleys anywhere. Impressive with its flora and fauna, it invites you to go hiking. So don't forget a picnic and plant identification app.

Black Pockau River

Highlight • River

A good hiking trail leads from Hinterer Grund to Kühnhaide, always not far from the Schwarzen Pockau. First through a narrow, wooded valley and later across wide meadows. Pure relaxation.
