--- title: "Gaststätte und Pension Polenztal" url: "https://web.destination.one/en/gastro/restaurant-inn-polenztal" description: "What a setting! With its imposing cliffs and numerous picturesque river meanders, the Polenztal is considered one of the most beautiful valleys in Saxon Switzerland. Even Caspar David Friedrich once sketched here. The famous Elbe Sandstone Mountains Painters’ Trail runs right through the middle of it. In the sunniest spot in the valley, right at the turnoff into the wild rocky landscape of the Schindergaben, stands an inn: the Polenztal Guesthouse and Restaurant. The inn serves as an excellent starting point for hikes through the valley, whose cliffs are often adorned with countless icicles in winter. A wide, well-maintained, and mostly sunny hiking trail runs along the river. A classic route leads to the famous Brandaussicht viewpoint and back to the guesthouse via Hohnstein. The ascent along a natural hiking trail through the Schindergraben, past the picturesque ruins of a former bear pit to Hohnstein, is a little adventure in itself. The trail to the mysterious Gautschgrotte, where a huge ice column forms during prolonged periods of frost, also leads through the Schindergraben. A total of 27 cozy rooms are available for overnight guests at the Polenztal Guesthouse and Restaurant. Hearty, home-style cooking and authentic Saxon hospitality amidst breathtaking natural beauty: that’s what guests of this family-run establishment can look forward to.
