This cross-border circular route takes you to many (natural) sights of the Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland.

The route starts in Königstein. At the roundabout, head towards Rosenthal-Bielatal and follow this road to the Königstein district of Hütten. Here, the road turns right towards Leupoldishain. After a long climb, turn left onto a forest path called Hirschstange. From this comfortable forest path, there are great views of Pfaffenstein. The route continues below the rock labyrinth of Langenhennersdorf until the forest path turns into Nikolsdorfer Weg. In the village, keep left and reach the Biela valley. Follow the Königstein road through Rosenthal until the Czech border, where at Eulenthor you take the marked path towards Sněžník (Schneeberg). At the Schneeberg stop, cycle right through the village and then left up to the Hoher Schneeberg. Return the same way and then turn right onto cycle path 23 (Erzgebirgsmagistrale) to Děčín, from where you can return on the Elbe cycle path to Königstein.
