Kirnitzschtal: Up to the Kuhstall

The route begins at the final station of the Kirnitzschtalbahn at Lichtenhainer Waterfall. Behind the parking lot, first cross the Kirnitzsch over a small bridge and follow the Malerweg signs to the left. After a few meters, the path leads steadily uphill to the impressive rock cave Kuhstall at Neuer Wildenstein. Via the 'Himmelsleiter' (Heaven's Ladder), at Kuhstall (branch of the path to the left of the railing of the rock arch), one climbs many steps between two rock walls to another magnificent viewpoint. The descent first continues along the Malerweg over the steps to the left before the rock arch. Shortly before the descent, there is also a Malerweg information panel with interesting details about the Malerweg. At the bottom, the paths separate. To the right, follow the Hinterer Kuhstallweg (red mark) to the historic signpost at the wooden steps, which lead back to the starting point in the Kirnitzschtal.
