Wheelchair tour "In the footsteps of Richard Wagner through the Liebethaler Grund"

The soft forest floor at the start, especially after rain, makes it advisable for escorts to help with the pushing.  Immediately before the ruins of the former Copitz power station, the path leads past towering rocks to a long bridge over its moat. Two relatively high steps have to be climbed to reach the wide footbridge - wheelchair users will definitely need assistance! The route then continues without difficulty to the Richard Wagner memorial directly in front of the now ruined Lochmühle mill. Nevertheless, it is worth making a short detour to the bridge over the Wesenitz behind the Lochmühle, because from here you can see a water cascade that has even been immortalised by Romantic artists in their drawings. The most strenuous section of the tour is undoubtedly the steep climb up to Mühlsdorf on a sandstone-paved path. The gradient during these 100 metres or so may be between 12 and 14 percent. Once at the top, we first walk along the village road, which becomes a cycle path after an allotment site, back to Liebethal with its village church, which is well worth seeing. Finally, the route leads a few hundred metres along a public road back down to the starting point of our hike.
