Heidelbach valley and goat rocks

From Markt, we walk downhill and cross the Zschopau below Wolkensteiner Schweiz, which is also popular with rock climbers. The Heidelbach, which we follow from its mouth after crossing the B101, has also created a romantic valley. Rugged gneiss walls and dense stands of beech give it the name "Holy Halls". After passing the remains of an old lime mine, we change sides of the stream. At first we are still accompanied by spruce forest, but soon a scenic field path leads to the village of Schönbrunn. A detour to the Ziegenfelsen rock offers views of the railroad line and the small town of Wolkenstein, which we approach after crossing the river valley.
