Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
Sturdy footwear and provisions are generally recommended, as some paths are unpaved and the opportunities to stop for food and drink are not always open.
Otherwise, a stop at Wachberg above Saupsdorf as well as at the Waldhaus just before Sebnitz is recommended.
A pair of binoculars is always practical on such routes to better enjoy and experience the views.
