@ericreinheart
Above the trees in the Elbe Valley, this striking split cliff is popular among hikers traveling from near and far. Capture a model standing on the mountain as a gust of wind breezes through and her scarf flies delicately into the crisp air.

How to get there

N50° 54' 46.368"E14° 15' 37.5876"
This image was taken along the trail near Kleiner Winterberg, looking onto a model between two rock formations. To get to this location, you'll need a car and you'll have to hike for about 45 minutes. You can park at the start of the hike, which starts along the trail at Pension Felsenmühle (near 50.925790, 14.275775). From there, enter the Kleiner Zschand forest road until you reach a crossing. Turn right here and continue uphill. After a few minutes there will be a sign that points left and says Winterberg. Follow the Fremdenweg sign until you reach steps that take you all the way up the mountain. This part can be pretty exhausting, but it only takes a couple minutes. Once you've reached the top of the steps turn left towards Kleiner Winterberg. You'll have to walk underneath a fallen tree, then turn right immediately. There's no clear trail but following the given coordinates will navigate you to the spot in two minutes. Please note that reception is bad here, I suggest downloading the offline map and Location Insight before you start out on the hike.
