Westlausitz Circular Route

The circular route connects some of the most beautiful landscapes such as the Luchsenburg or the legendary Massenei in the Westlausitz. Explore the Westlausitz mountain and hill region and visit beautiful natural spots and cultural sights such as the gingerbread town of Pulsnitz, the Baroque castle Rammenau, the Butterberg, the animal and cultural park in Bischofswerda, or the castle park in Großharthau. Variety is key on the circular route – nature and culture are equally to be discovered and enjoyed.

There is the possibility to start the circular route at 5 train stations (Arnsdorf, Kleinröhrsdorf, Pulsnitz, Bischofswerda, Großharthau). Hiking car parks, where cars can be parked for several days, are located in Arnsdorf (at the station), Pulsnitz (Schützenplatz), Ohorn (at the community center), Großharthau (at the Volkspark), and at the guesthouse on the Butterberg. It is recommended to comfortably hike the approximately 60 km long trail over 5 days, so that the cultural sights can be enjoyed at leisure. Numerous accommodations in the region are ready and look forward to welcoming guests.
