The circular route takes you from the Obermühle mill along the Neisse river through the vineyard area to the park railroad and back along the Landskron brewery.

The short family tour starts at the Obermühle restaurant and first takes you along the Oder-Neisse cycle path along the Neisse to the park railroad, passing the Neisse Viaduct, the 475 m long viaduct that connects Poland and Germany by rail. You can also see the Robert Oettel monument. Robert Oettel was a merchant, town councillor and founder of German pedigree poultry breeding.
At the park railroad, you can take a ride on the vintage park railroad (closed in winter). There is also a playground where the little ones can play. There is also a ruined restaurant and lookout tower on the vineyard, which is a tip for photographers. The trail then takes you past the Landskron BRAU-MANUFAKTUR visitor center, which is particularly interesting for adults.
On the way back, you walk through the "Friedenshöhe" park, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the viaduct from above.
