To the Great Zschirnstein

From the parking lot in Kleingießhübel, we leave the town on an initially steeply ascending paved grassy path and soon reach the forest. Here the gradient decreases until after 1.5 km the forest road becomes steeper again towards a large junction. From here we continue straight ahead on the now gently ascending Alte Tetschener Straße until after another 1.2 km we reach the next large junction at a rest area called Kalkbude. On the Zschirnsteinweg branching off to the right here, the surface gradually deteriorates. The following 500 m section is eroded except for coarse and loose gravel. Even though the terrain flattens again afterwards, there are still short steep sections with rock slabs to master up to the viewpoint. The summit offers a nice view and a small shelter. For the return trip we use the same route.
