Mountain bike route with marvellous panoramic views and 2 viewing towers. Start in Rugiswalde in the direction of Sebnitzer Straße. From the "Gerstenberg" there is a nice downhill to Sebnitz. Attention ! It is easy to get lost in the town. Highlights are the "Dr Adolf Meiche Weg", "Wachberg" (there's a push/carry passage up there), "Weifberg" (make sure you climb the tower!) and the "Tanzplan". The latter offers another nice rough descent to Sebnitz.
