Rocky Winter in Rosenthal-Bielatal
What fascinating formations! Two mighty rock pillars rise like weathered statues into the winter sky, slightly askew and with overly heavy heads. This gives them a strong and fragile appearance at the same time. The "Hercules Pillars" are among the most spectacular rocks of the Saxon Switzerland. They are not only popular climbing peaks but also the landmarks of a winter hiking paradise that is still a hidden gem: Rosenthal-Bielatal.
The community is located in the south of the region, almost in the Czech Republic, slightly off the usual tourist paths. Those seeking tranquility will find it here. You can often hike for hours without encountering a soul. The landscape reveals itself to be as diverse as in hardly any other part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
Open hill country, wild rock worlds, and deeply cut valleys with murmuring streams repeatedly create new picturesque scenes. There are also adventurous trails with ladders and stairs leading up to elevating viewpoints. And those who have their accommodation in Rosenthal-Bielatal can start hiking right from their doorstep. So, lace up your hiking boots and dive into the winter hiking bliss!
