Old Railway Embankment Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

For completeness, a piece of railway embankment from the old railway bridge to Dürröhrsdorf. Slightly longer "trackable" and moderate ascent through the forest.

Panoramic Cycle Path With View of Saxon Switzerland

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Wonderful bike path with great asphalt. Can be used as a shortcut to avoid the sometimes busy intersection at the Hocksteinbaude and the country road. Downhill you can enjoy one …

Sandstone Gorge Trail (Saxon Switzerland National Park)

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A wonderful route through wild, romantic cliffs. A real highlight!

But be careful, the old asphalt is heavily overgrown with moss in places, making it slippery! So it's better to descend slowly, so you'll see more of the sandstone cliffs.
