Technical masterpiece, the single-track railway line from Bischofswerda to Zittau crosses the Weseritz valley. The viaduct is slightly curved and has 21 arches of different sizes. Renovation 1991 to 1993.

Töpferei Kurt Louis Lehmann

Highlight • Structure

Our pottery, founded in 1834, currently employs
thirteen employees.

We manufacture typical traditional Lusatian ceramics in the Bunzlau style. The decor is dabbed onto the pots, which are made with love and craftsmanship, using a sponge.

Descent to the Czech Border at Lobendava

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Border crossing without car traffic. On the German side about 3 km of gravel road and after the border good asphalt with a pleasant gradient.

View of Neustädter Tal from Raupenbergstraße Rest Area

Highlight • Viewpoint

Coming from Langburkersdorf or CZ, it's a welcome rest stop after a moderate climb. Coming from Hohwald, you've already had a rapid descent, but it's still worth taking a break here to enjoy the beautiful view.

Highlight • Cycleway

When the weather is clear you can look far into the Czech Republic and as far as Dresden. The Dresden TV tower is often recognizable.
