A scenic route, once around the local mountain of the town of Löbau. Löbau is part of the Upper Lusatian Six-City Alliance. The route partly passes through villages along streams and small rivers. It runs along the foot of Löbauer Berg, with the possibility of a detour to the summit. A visit to the Mittelmühle in Bischdorf is recommended. The half-timbered houses typical for Upper Lusatia line large parts of the route. An agricultural cultural landscape with the mountain as a striking viewpoint makes the charm of the route.

Directions

Begin your 49-kilometer circular route in the cozy small town of Löbau - member of the Six-City Alliance - at the foot of Löbauer Berg. You leave Löbau heading north and reach the district of Georgewitz. With some time and an eye for the special, you can enjoy the beautiful, small rocky valley, the "Georgewitzer Skala," created by the "Löbauer Wasser." Continue through Rosenhain to one of Germany's "most beautiful villages" - Rosenbach. Relax with a visit to the Mittelmühle in the district of Bischdorf. The restored water mill contains the oldest intact, interior water wheel in Saxony. The landmark of the village is the 1,000-year-old oak tree in Herwigsdorf (natural monument). Your route then leads you via Strahwalde to the officially recognized spa town Obercunnersdorf with its characteristic ensemble of half-timbered houses. One house lovelier than the next - amidst splendid flower gardens! In Niedercunnersdorf, a detour to one of the museums is recommended. Then it goes over Ebersdorf back to the town of the "Cast Iron Tower."
At the end of the route, you can choose whether to return to the starting point of the route or make a detour to Löbauer Berg.
