This circular hiking route offers a city walk through the gingerbread town of Pulsnitz. Starting points are the train station and the parking lot at Schützenplatz.

The original route of the circular hiking path had to be redesigned due to closed paths on Eierberg. The result is a circular route featuring the most beautiful sights of Pulsnitz. The path leads past the market with the Pulsnitz gingerbread museum, the castle park with arcade and sculpture collection, as well as the gingerbread park. In addition, numerous gingerbread bakeries that still shape Pulsnitz today can be visited during the hike.

Numerous regional hiking trails partly run parallel to the city hiking route and allow connection to destinations in the West Lusatia region.
