Rabenauer Grund Steam Railway and Hiking Trail

Highlight • Trail

For all railway enthusiasts, I recommend taking the steam locomotive from Hainsberg to Dippoldiswalde. The bikes go in the parcel wagon and you can enjoy the snorting and pounding of the old locomotive through the narrow Rabenauer Grund. Once you're at the top, you cycle back down to Hainsberg in the same way. If you want to avoid the stairs (approx. 80m) before Rabenau, you can turn right onto Mühlweg just before the bridge (but it's steep).
Otherwise, the whole route is also suitable for children and families with grandma and grandpa. It's always slightly downhill, and tired or swollen feet can always cool off in the red Weißeritz. Bring a picnic backpack and blanket and in summer bring your swimwear for a dip in the Malter dam - a wonderful swimming lake. There are wonderful beer gardens at the Rabenau and Cossmannsdorf train stations and, with a bit of luck, you can admire the next steam locomotive. For me, this route is a dream in any season...

a very nice place to stay 😉 with a snack at the Rabenauer Mühle "Zum Wanderer" with self-service restaurant right at the train station or in the restaurant in the Hotel Rabenauer Mühle with a beer garden, as well as exploring the energy nature trail or marveling at the Weißeritztalbahn with steam locomotive upon arrival or departure 👍

Götzenbusch Geological Monument

Highlight • Natural Monument

In the Götzenbüschen near Oelsa, two geologically significant and in their combination rare natural phenomena occur:
-Tropical red loams, which were formed by weathering of the gray gneiss and have a high content of clay (kaolinite and illite) and iron (hematite).
-Clays and sandstones that have emerged from deposits of the Cretaceous Sea, contain fossils from this period and have preserved the previously formed tropical red loams from erosion.
Occurrence only known once in the Andes/ America! Due to its rarity and scientific importance, this area requires strict protection.

CLIMBING PROHIBITED! Also for small children!!!

Cycle Path to Rabenau

Highlight • Cycleway

On this wonderful cycle path you can admire the mountains of the Ore Mountains. And in autumn, thanks to the many trees, there is an additional play of colors to admire while cycling.
