Description
The riverbed of the Rote Weißeritz meanders through a picturesque landscape. This V-shaped valley, which is up to 80 metres deep, is known as Rabenauer Grund. The most striking features are the bizarre rock formations. The valley has been a nature reserve since 1961 because of its flora and fauna. Breeding birds include (Ευρωπαϊκός) Νεροκότσυφας, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη, Σταχτοσουσουράδα, Μαυροσκούφης, Σταχτομυγοχάφτης, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Κοκκοθραύστης and Δεντροτσοπανάκος. In early spring, the courtship display of the (Ευρωπαϊκός) Νεροκότσυφας is easy to observe, from up close.
