The sculpture path connects Herrnhut and Großhennersdorf. On the comfortably walkable path, the hiker will find 17 different artistic sculptures.

These deal with the history of the Herrnhut Moravian Church and the biography of Count von Zinzendorf. The sculpture path also encourages reflection on personal faith questions in the tranquility of the forest.

The 6 km long marked hiking trail runs between Herrnhut and Großhennersdorf and can be walked from both directions. Those who want to avoid the return walk on foot can also use bus line 27, which regularly connects Herrnhut and Großhennersdorf.

A small booklet with many pictures and explanations of the individual stations of the sculpture path is available, among other places, at the Herrnhut tourist information.
