From the starting point, you can follow the newly created Buchenhain forest nature trail (unmarked) and learn a few educational things. Then continue along a wide forest road to the Kochemoor protected natural area. After that, follow the forest trail marking towards Zeisigstein. Zeisigstein, at 551m, is the third highest elevation in Saxon Switzerland. After a rest at Zeisigstein, continue along the forest trail to the second viewpoint: Hartenstein. You reach this via an iron bridge. From there, it goes back to the Markersbach hiking car park or the bus stop.
CURRENT [April 2025]: Closure in the Kochemoor area until May 16, 2025. A detour recommendation can be found here.
In winter, forestry work and hunting may take place here. Please observe the on-site instructions.
Hiking boots are recommended. We also suggest bringing refreshments as there are no places to stop for food on the circular hike.
The hike is especially recommended in spring.
