Malerweg – Etappe 3 💫
(📍Hohnstein → Altendorf | 14 km)
Etappe 3 is ideal if you love a mix of forest atmosphere and dramatic panoramas, without the harder hiking of later stages.
• Moderate difficulty
• Narrow forest trails + rocky sections
• Several ascents & descents
• Incredible viewpoints over the Elbe Valley
Highlights along the way:
– Brand Mountain view (find a small bridge there)
– 800 stairs downhill to the valley called "Tiefer Grund"
– Waitzdorf views
Save this for your Malerweg planning 🥾
