This newly created hiking trail connects the villages of Seeligstadt and Frankenthal. It runs largely through the "legendary" Massenei and is marked with a green dash.

The new hiking trail runs across the Massenei. It leads from Seeligstadt past the "Wolfgang-Marschner Bench", named after a former, dedicated hiking trail warden of the Westlausitz region. The "Großer Stern" with a rest area and information board, as well as the Popeldammteich, are also located directly on the trail. In Frankenthal, the path briefly crosses the cemetery before ending at Beigut with a connection to the "Gruna Hiking Trail". From here there is access to Rammenau and Bischofswerda.

Directions

From Seeligstadt, the path leads north through the Massenei to the Großer Stern, the central crossroads of the forest area. Here, a rest area and shelter invite you to linger. Then it goes eastward to the Popeldammteich. Shortly thereafter, the Massenei is left behind and across fields the small village of Frankenthal is reached. Here, the path initially runs past the old school before a small section leads over the village cemetery (no worries, everything has been coordinated and permitted!). Parallel to the main street, it goes towards Beigut, where the path meets the "Gruna Hiking Trail" and also ends there.
