Hinterhermsdorf is a district of the city of Sebnitz in the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district in Saxony , right on the border with the Czech Republic , with around 650 inhabitants.
geography
location
Hinterhermsdorf is located on the eastern edge of Saxon Switzerland , in a border region with the Czech Republic . The place is a very popular tourist destination due to its close proximity to the two national parks Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland as well as its numerous excursion possibilities.
Until 2012, Hinterhermsdorf was one of the few districts in Saxony that did not have a common border with the core area of the municipality to which they belong. Districts of the Kirnitzschtal community were located between Hinterhermsdorf and the rest of the Sebnitz city area .
traffic
Hinterhermsdorf is only connected to the public road network via one street. A circular one-way street leads through the village. Furthermore, Hinterhermsdorf has bus connections to Dresden and Sebnitz. Three cycling and hiking trails lead across the border to the Czech Republic, one over the Kirnitzschtal to Zadní Jetřichovice ( Hinterdittersbach ) and one near Zadní Doubice ( Hinterdaubitz ) over the Kyjovské údolí ( Khaatal ) to Krásná Lípa ( Schönlinde ) and once over the Weifberg to Mikulasovice ( Nixdorf ).

history
.jpg)
The village founder was called Hermann and had the inheritance court as a fief. Originally the village lived almost exclusively from the timber industry and the transport of the felled wood in the direction of Bad Schandau , Dresden and Meißen . The Obere and the Niedere Schleuse, along the Kirnitzsch River , which with their valley runs past the site to the east and south and mark the current border with the Czech Republic , still bear witness to this today . Both locks are no longer in operation today and are technical monuments, although the tradition of a boat trip on an artificially dammed lake has been preserved on the Upper Lock.
In addition to numerous half-timbered houses typical of the region , Hinterhermsdorf has other features of old settlement structures. So in the center is the hereditary court , the former headquarters of the feudal lord , who, in addition to the largest Hufe (allocated land area) and jurisdiction, also had brewing and licensing rights, which is still evident today in an inn on the square.
The community was incorporated into the large district town of Sebnitz on October 1, 1998 .
In 2001, Hinterhermsdorf received a gold medal in the national competition “ Our village has a future ” (formerly “Our village should be more beautiful”) after it had previously been named the most beautiful village in Saxony .
Attractions
The valley of the Kirnitzsch and the upper lock
The Kirnitzsch river forms the border river to the Czech Republic near Hinterhermsdorf. The Kirnitzschklamm runs through the core zone of the Saxon Switzerland National Park , in which the Upper Lock is also located. The Obere Schleuse is a historical dam that dates back to the 16th century and dams the water over a length of 700 meters. It was originally a facility for timber rafting. During the summer months, boat trips are offered on the reservoir. In 2009 the boat trips counted almost 55,000 visitors.
The upper boat station on the pent-up Kirnitzsch in Hinterhermsdorf was the location for scenes for the Police Call 110 episode "One Step Too Far" on GDR television in the fall of 1984 - with actors Jürgen Frohriep and Friedhelm Eberle , among others . Further locations were Rathen and Stolpen .
The Weifberg Tower
The Weifberg Tower has stood on the Weifberg in the north of the village since 2000. Its basic structure is made entirely of wood, which is reinforced by steel trusses to make the tower stormproof. From its top there is a beautiful view of the whole of eastern Saxon Switzerland and further to the Czech Republic.
The Waldhusche
The Waldhusche is intended to introduce children to the forest theme in a playful way. In addition to explanations and information on the topics of forestry and forestry, explanations of the importance of the natural processes in a forest are provided on four different viewing trails and 40 stations in a forest area south of Hinterhermsdorf.
The angel church
The Angel Church was built in the late 17th century and takes its unusual name from a baroque baptismal angel . The baroque winged altar is also worth seeing.
