Malerweg, Stage 3: From Hohnstein to Altendorf (official version TV Saxon Switzerland)

From Hohnstein we descend to the Bear Garden. There we walk along the old wall remains on a forest hiking trail via the Halbenweg and Räumichtweg in the direction of Brandaussicht. After a fantastic panoramic view from this "balcony of Saxon Switzerland", located 170 meters above the Polenz Valley, we descend over 800 steps into the Tiefen Grund. After about 300 meters of road, the Malerweg leads right up the Dorfgrund to Waitzdorf. From the Waitzdorfer Rundweg we follow the Mühlweg and arrive at the Kohlmühle via the Kohlichtgraben. The markings lead us into the Sebnitz valley to the mouth of the Schwarzbach. We now hike on the Mühlweg to the stage destination Altendorf and enjoy the view to the Schrammsteinen from there.
