From Freital along the Rote Weißeritz through the Rabenauer Grund

The Rabenauer Grund is the most famous gorge in the foothills of the Ore Mountains. This 80 m deep gorge valley is home to many beautiful rock formations as well as unique flora and fauna. It is home to the fire salamander, for example. On our way, we pass the historic Rabenau mill, which now houses a hotel and a restaurant.
In 1882, the Weißeritz Valley Railway was the second narrow-gauge railroad in Saxony to go into operation. Today, it is the longest-serving narrow-gauge railroad in Germany and runs daily in steam mode between Freital-Hainsberg and the spa town of Kipsdorf.
