Oybin Mountain Church

View of Zittau from the Oybin lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can still finish the plateau behind the restaurant. There, a beautiful view opens up through the valley between potter and Ameisenberg to Zittau.

Narrow passage on Bergringweg, Oybin

Highlight • Gorge

We return to the cemetery and take the circular hiking trail, which leads us further across the plateau.

We walk along the high cliffs, the slope steep beside us, past the inn, sometimes very narrow between the rocks.

Today we went to the Oybin in constant drizzle, thawing snow and slippery paths and stairs. Unfortunately, the baroque mountain church was tightly closed. Too bad 😔
The castle and monastery complex is fascinating. The museum and exhibitions provide a small insight into history.
The walk on the ring road made the size of the complex clear and gave us …

At the end of our hiking weekend, before heading home, we climbed up to Oybin Castle. It was definitely worth it - beautiful views and the whole area is very interesting.

Visited the castle festival on the Qybin today with Thomas' big daughter and her friend. The tour wasn't long, but that was enough in the heat...we treated ourselves to the luxury of taking the mountain express up from the Oybin car park. Since Komoot would have gotten confused again during the visits to the basement rooms, I replanned the tour...so …

After we spent yesterday in bed and it snowed again today, we went for a little stroll. The castle and the monastery of Oybin should be explored and photographically documented. A really great experience despite the icy wind. You should plan at least two hours if you want to explore everything.

What a magnificent complex, the castle and monastery ruins of Oybin.

I was simply blown away.

And then there were the two musicians with their classical music. When they played the Halelujah in a really melancholic way, it was as if everything around me became infinitely small. At least it was a wonderful moment that made the stress and worries …

Sturdy shoes are important, especially in winter. Very nice views.

I just noticed that the distance and speed information from komoot definitely can't be correct.

Yesterday, an advertisement from the Schlösserland app popped up again and lured us to an event on the Oybin castle hill. Unfortunately, the place is not that easy to reach by train, so we quickly drove to the spa town by car and the parking lot was also acceptable at a €5 daily fee. The way to the castle hill …
