Welcome to the National Park Region Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland National Park Region Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland www.nationalpark-saechsische-schweiz.de www.npcs.cz Let nature be nature english Welcome to the transboundary region of the Elbe Sand- stone Mountains! Two national parks and two conserva- tion areas have been established for the protection and development of this erosion landscape that is unique for Central Europe. The highest international protec- tion category of National Park highlights the respon- sibilities that Saxony took over in 1990 and the Czech Republic in 2000 to protect this rocky landscape. Inside the two national parks, making up a total area of 172 km2, nature should be able to develop undisturbed by human intervention. By using public transport, you too will help preserve and protect this unique landscape.

  • Gohrisch Meine Bewertung
    Gohrisch meine Bewertung: Dauer: 1.5 Stunden Entfernung: 2.5 Kilometer Höhenunterschied: 195 Meter empfohlene Karte: Festung Königstein und die Tafelberge Wandergebiet: Steine Beschreibung: Die Wanderung ist dadurch entstanden, dass ich auf der Wanderung Fünf Steine ein Schild am Gohrisch mit der Inschrift "Aufstieg Falkenschlucht (schwieriger Aufstieg)" entdeckt habe. So etwas macht doch gleich mal neugierig und so habe ich mir meine große Tochter (8 Jahre) geschnappt und wir sind zu einer Mini-Erkundungstour ge- startet. Diese Wanderung ist nicht gerade eine typische Runde für uns, da eigentlich eine Strecke von 2,5 Kilometern eher in die Kategorie Spaziergang gehört. Da aber gleich zwei etwas anspruchsvollere Auf- und Abstiege dabei sind, sprechen wir lieber nicht von Spaziergang. Es gibt aber in der Sächsischen Schweiz doch einige Wande- rer, ganz besonders die Einheimischen, die gerne bis kurz vor den Gipfel fahren, auf den Berg oder Stein hochklettern und dann sogar über den gleichen Weg zurückge- hen. Deshalb wird es bestimmt auch für diese Wanderung Leser und Nachwanderer geben. Da ich nur sehr ungerne den gleichen Weg zurück gehe, ist die Wanderung Gohrisch eine vollständige Umrundung des Gipfels geworden. Der Startpunkt liegt an der Kreuzung zwischen dem Gohrisch und dem Papststein. An dem kleineren der beiden Parkplätze erklärt eine Tafel den Bodenlehrpfad, über den es auch das erste Stück geht. Die ersten Meter auf der Gohrischsteinpromenade sind auch noch ein Naturlehrpfad, der von der Mittelschule Papstdorf angelegt wor- den ist. Der Wanderweg ist sehr angenehm zu gehen und durch die abwechslungsreichen Stationen der beiden Lehrpfade auch noch inte- ressant. Beim Bodenlehrpfad sind an mehreren Stellen Gräben aus- gehoben worden, an denen man deutlich einen Querschnitt durch die Bodenbeschaffenheit erkennen kann.

  • Großer Zschirnstein Meine Bewertung
    großer Zschirnstein meine Bewertung: Dauer: 5.5 Stunden Entfernung: 18.0 Kilometer Höhenunterschied: 670 Meter empfohlene Karte: Große Karte der Sächsischen Schweiz Wandergebiet: Steine Beschreibung: Die Wanderung beginnt in Krippen an dem Parkplatz der an den Eisenbahnbögen ist. Auch wenn man es sich kaum vorstellen kann, aber der Parkplatz im Jahr 2003 doch tatsächlich kostenlos. Ich bin erst einmal zur Parkplatzeinfahrt gegangen um zu schauen, ob es nicht irgendein Hotelparkplatz ist. Los geht die Wanderung. Der Weg geht erst mal die Hauptstraße im Dorf entlang, bis nach ungefähr 900 Me- tern die Straße nach rechts in Richtung Kleinhennersdorf abbiegt. Auf dieser Straße geht es die nächsten 200 Meter bis auf der linken Seite ein Waldweg den Berg hoch geht. Es ist mit dem roten Punkt markiert. Der Weg geht für einen Wanderweg relativ steil den Berg hoch. Auf einer kurzen Strecke von 800 Meter ist ein Höhenunterschied von 170 Metern zu bewerkstelligen. Oben angekommen geht es dann noch ein paar Meter weiter nach rechts auf den Kohlbornstein. Der Kohlbornstein ist ein längerer Felsen, auf dem man bis an die Spitze wandern kann. Von der Spitze hat man einen sehr schönen Blick über Krippen/Postelwitz hinweg auf die Schrammsteine. Von dieser schönen Aussicht geht es zurück über den Bergkamm zum markierten Wanderweg. Dem roten Punkt folgt man jetzt über angenehme Wanderwege, vorbei an dem Kindererholungszentrum Papstdorf und runter zur Röl- ligmühle. Beim Anblick der Mühle wird man ein wenig melancholisch. Die Mühle hat vor ein paar Jahren ihr 400 jähriges Bestehen gefeiert und nachdem sie zwischen- durch als Ferienheim genutzt wurde, verfällt sie jetzt.
