Gravel from Zittau to Löwenberg.

Starting at the Zittau train station, the route runs directly through the historic center of the city. From there the route leads past the three-country point to the east in the direction of the Jizera Mountains. Stations like the Kahleberg or the Buschullersdorfer Spitzberg are now located between the next larger town of Frydland. The route leads over lonely dirt roads and idyllic forest paths to Löwenberg. The town of Löwenberg has a beautiful market square, while Brunow Castle, which is only 4 km away, and the nearby lake offer a wide range of holiday fun on the beach. The view of the eponymous Löwenberg, a sandstone formation similar to that in Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland, offers a wonderful view. From there it continues on the Polish side to Hirschberg, later again steeply uphill to Bad Flinsberg. Once there, the route crosses the Jizera Mountains again, passing Haindorf and Liberec. The tour ends at the Zittau train station.
