Hiking

Like the Napolionschanzen, the Steinerne Tisch at the connecting street Zittau-Lückendorf and the Napoleon Linde on the Butterhübel in Olbersdorf belong to the historical places which we associate with Napoleon.

Hiking

In the vicinity of it there are up to 150 m long ski jumps, which are called Napoleonschanzen. On August 19, 1813, around 18,000 French and Polish soldiers marched along Gabler Strasse to Deutsch Gabel, where Napoleon spent the night.
