Darum lohnt sich der Besuch.
This hiking trail will take you to the Brand viewpoint, the so-called “balcony” of Saxon Switzerland. Here, the landscape ends in a sheer drop, and you can look down into the deep Polenz Valley. The location is exposed, and views down into the canyon-like valley and into the landscape beyond are truly spectacular.

Wegbeschreibung
Our hike begins at the edge of the village (towards Brandstraße) in Hohnstein . We first follow the road (blue line) in the direction of Brand. At the beginning of the forest, the road turns into Brandstraße , a wide forest road. Straight ahead (blue line) we hike into the "Brand", as the area is called here: In the 18th century, the forest here was devastatingly in flames. Underneath the spreading treetops, the trail leads to the Brandaussicht . In good weather, a fantastic view opens up from here to the table…
