I can highly recommend the “Wild Hell”. It is surprising that there is no sign at the beginning of the gorge about the difficulty. Without appropriate footwear, nothing can be done here and for those who are inexperienced, it is quite an experience. By the way – more up than down!!!

View of the Kreuzturm

Directly above the hiking trail rise the striking rocks of Morscher Zinne, Falscher Zinne, Kreuzturm and Bloßstock. The towering rock formations are a popular climbing area.

On Saturday afternoon we spontaneously drove to the Elbi and did not regret it. We started at the Beuthenfall and went over the Häntzschelstiege to the Carolaaussicht, where the sun ended the day spectacularly. We then went back to the Kirnitzschtal at dusk via the Wilde Hölle. Wonderful.

These can be done without equipment, but there are long passages for …

From the car park directly to the start of the twin staircase. Here the rush was manageable. At the Häntzschelstiege, however, it was today with queuing and tw. Waiting on …

Because it was so nice yesterday, today with @Rico again in the same hiking area...
