The panorama path lives up to its name! Between the Kirnitzschtal and the Sebnitztal, the hike runs along a ridge. There are not only individual vantage points, but also unique panoramic views along almost the entire route!

August 26, 2026,Auf dem Panoramaweg von Sebnitz bis ins Elbtal

Today we went from Sebnitz via the Panoramaweg to Bad Schandau.
The ascent from the bus station would have been quite challenging, but we admit that we did it, because starting only through side streets wouldn't have been our thing.
Once at the top, we continued along the Panoramaweg through meadows, wide forest paths, but also through small villages that …

Today was the day again: the monthly hike with Christian. We started in the artificial flower town of Sebnitz. From there, we took the panoramic trail to Bad Schandau. We visited Altendorf, Mittendrin, and Lichtenhain, hiked through beautiful nature, and once again wondered why wander far away when the beauty is so close. I can highly recommend the aforementioned panoramic …

This time without much ado... with the Rumburker train from Bad Schandau back to Sebnitz through the romantic Sebnitz valley...
In B.Schandau we went to the bakery just above Arnolds Bergsport. Delicious cakes etc. 😋

@KleeneSchnecke and I thought for a long time about whether we should start again this week. The weather was supposed to be rather poor and I've had a bad cold and been pretty exhausted since our Sunday trip to Stolpen Castle. As you can see, we took the risk.

August 5, 2025,Panoramaweg von Hertigswalde - Waldhaus nach Bad Schandau

Today I was again a guest hiker in our Tuesday group, this time on the Panorama Trail from Hertigswalde - Waldhaus to Bad Schandau. A beautiful hike, beautifully over the heights of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite ideal, with a bit of drizzle, but it was still manageable. Visibility was limited in sections and then cleared …

From the bus station in Sebnitz, you first go along Schillerstraße in the direction of Hertigswalde, crossing the small river Sebnitz. Soon you turn onto the Albrecht-Kunze-Weg and follow the marking "yellow line".

After approx. 1 km the asphalt ends and the Alfred-Kunze-Weg turns right. Continue with
