Orchard Tree Hiking Trail At the end of the hike. © Britta Schulze-ThulinPhoto: Britta Schulze-Thulin, Rother Bergverlag
The Sosa dam in the Höllengrund valley impounds the water of the Kleine Bockau and is now a drinking water protection area. It was formerly also called the "Dam of Peace" because it was built by many volunteers during GDR times. In the forest there you can also find the impressive climbing rock Höllengrundspitze. Afterwards, our hike mostly follows the Köhlerweg trail around Sosa, where you can learn a lot about the historical craft of charcoal burning as well as experience a lot of nature.

For a detour to the Höllengrundspitze rock, we keep left, then down the path diagonally left again. Back to the open-air stage, straight ahead through the barrier. We now turn into the second unpaved path on the left and initially follow the Köhlerweg (trail sign of a smoking earth kiln on a black background) and the feeder path to the Wild Erzgebirge trail. On the right there is a nice view of Sosa. Always straight ahead, soon our way merges into a wider one, we keep the direction. At a crossroads with a large cross, we go straight ahead, also at the next one. We continue walking along the right edge of the meadow. Down below, we again go straight ahead at the intersection, leaving the Köhlerweg behind. The path bends left. It goes over the Rastplatz der
