Gohrisch: To the Tafelberg Gohrisch

The hike begins at the Gohrisch car park bus stop. From here, the trail leads through the Stiller Grund valley, past the former nursery, up to the Gohrisch. The ascent is lined with the striking sandstone walls of the table mountain.

At the top, you pass the Abgetrennte Wand climbing peak and reach the extensive rock plateau. To the west, narrow rock gorges lead to the viewpoint with the weather vane. From here, an impressive panorama opens up over the Elbe Valley, the Ebenheit, the Papststein and as far as the Zschirnsteine.

The return journey follows the same route to the pavilion on the eastern side of the plateau. From there, the descent is on the eastern side of the Gohrisch. The trail leads south past a former basalt quarry, where a nature trail provides information about geology, flora and fauna. Basalt was quarried here from the mid-19th century and was used, among other things, as a road construction material.

The trail joins the Muselweg. It first runs through forest, then through open terrain with beautiful rest areas and unobstructed views of the landscape. Follow the Muselweg to Gohrisch, then take Pladerbergstraße to the Pfaffendorfer Straße bus stop, where the tour ends.

In the village itself, it is worth taking a quick look at the details: at the Logis Hotel Quartier 5, a plaque commemorates Adelbert Hauffe, the founder of the Gohrisch summer resort in the 19th century. In addition, several restaurants in Gohrisch offer refreshments.
