Heidberg circular route

This enjoyable, short circular hike connects the three Gornau districts of Dittmannsdorf, Witzschdorf and Gornau to create a tour full of scenic variety. Depending on your preference, you can start in any of the three villages - the trail opens up the region around the Heidberg in a natural way.

If you start in Dittmannsdorf, you are immediately greeted by a lovingly designed farm with an idyllic pond. A small wood provides pleasant shade before the view opens up over wide fields and meadows. The path leads gently uphill along a wide field path with impressive panoramic views. After a short while, the trail turns right again downhill towards Gornau.

A quiet deciduous forest offers cool relaxation as the path leads past several small ponds with reflective water surfaces. A small bridge takes hikers directly into a residential area of Gornau, but after just a few hundred meters the path turns off into the countryside again.

Over meadow paths and along gentle hills, the route offers impressive panoramic views of the Höllmühl and Zschopau valleys. In the distance, Augustusburg Castle - the "crown of the Erzgebirge" - towers majestically over the landscape and accompanies hikers on the last section of this all-round successful tour.
