From Goßdorf via Lohsdorf and Hohnstein to Rathen

The route starts at Goßdorf-Kohlmühle stop in the Sebnitz Valley and from there follows the yellow mark into the Schwarzbachtal to the Goßdorfer Raubschloss.

After a short detour up the hill to the ruins of the Raubschloss, it continues following the blue dot through the Schwarzbachtal to Lohsdorf Station. Here you follow the original route of the narrow-gauge railway that once ran through the valley to Hohnstein.

From Lohsdorf Station, follow the road first through the town and then further towards Ehrenberg until a stone signpost at a junction points to Hohnstein.

At the entrance to Hohnstein—at the Sachsenberg settlement—keep slightly left and follow a path along the field, which then runs through a garden allotment area.

At the next road, walk a short stretch to the right and immediately leave the road again to the left onto a path that was once also used by the narrow-gauge railway. Then walk through Hohnstein along the Alte Brandstraße and past the town hall up to Hohnstein Castle.

After visiting the castle, walk back a short distance to the town hall and from there follow the blue mark through the Schindergraben into the Polenz Valley and from the Polenz Valley up to the Hockstein.

On the way up the Hockstein through the Wolfsschlucht, a short detour around the corner to the Hockstein Cave is recommended.

From the Hockstein, follow the green mark to the Amselsee and from there to Rathen, where you cross the Elbe with the help of a ferry and the route ends at the station.
