Hiking trail through Kohlichtgraben currently impassable

The marked section of the hiking trail through the Kohlichtgraben is currently blocked by fallen trees. As the affected section is private forest, the trail cannot be cleared by the National Park and Forestry Administration, and there is currently no prospect of it being cleared in the short term. It is therefore strongly recommended to avoid this section and take the yellow line and the road via Goßdorf instead. This also applies to the Malerweg. The road between Goßdorf and Kohlmühle is expected to remain closed to motor vehicles until March/April 2026, but is accessible to pedestrians.

For Malerweg hikers, this extends the route by 3.6 km. Alternatively, the section via Waitzdorf can be omitted by instead hiking from the Brandstufen on the blue dash trail (ZW, E3 and EB). This takes you through the Tiefer Grund via the Frinztalmühle and along the Sebnitz to Kohlmühle. This shortens the route by about half a kilometre. Link to route: https://mapy.com/s/cohelopofe
