Circular route around the Großer Wald via Oppach - Dürrhennersdorf - Neusalza-Spremberg.

Over a distance of 28 kilometers, you can cycle around the area of the "Großer Wald". Starting from Neusalza-Spremberg with the well-known Reiterhaus Museum, a typical Upper Lusatian half-timbered house, you cycle through Oppach to Taubenheim and then turn right to the already described Oppach pond landscape Am Alten Graben. The route goes through the "Lindenberg" and includes a challenging climb up to Picka. You then cycle through the "Eichen" in the Beiersdorf district Gebirge. After crossing the S152, you reach the Niedermühle and follow the markings along the former railway line, passing the Hofepark through the Beiersdorf Schmiedental to Schönbach. Via Dürrhennersdorf and Friedersdorf, you return to the starting point of the route at Neusalza-Spremberg. Since it is a circular route, you can alternatively start at any point on the route.
