Via Sacra cycling pilgrimage route from Löbau to Görlitz

Löbau was the venue of the powerful Upper Lusatian Six-City Alliance founded in 1346, which also included Kamenz, Bautzen, Görlitz, Zittau, and Lauban (Polish Luban). The landmark of the city is the unique cast-iron Friedrich-August Tower on Löbauer Berg (450 m) in Europe.

On the northern outskirts of the city, a visit to the "Haus Schminke", which Hans Scharoun designed for the family of the noodle manufacturer Fritz Schminke, is worthwile. The residential building, lovingly called "Nudeldampfer" by the locals of Löbau, is considered one of the most important buildings of classical modernism. Overnight stays on site are also possible. The beautiful market square with the imposing town hall and the nearby St. Nicholas Church from the 13th century are also very impressive.
