Loop
Charming year-round tour in Saxon Switzerland, Saxony. The tour starts at the paid forest car park in front of the Ottomühle in the Biela Valley. The path leads along the road via the Otto mill to the turnoff in the direction of the Grenzplatte, to which the path leads uphill. Partly it goes over steps, where you have to be careful with ice and snow. At the junction to the Grenzplatte, it finally goes up to the plateau. Beautiful views of the rock needles of the Biela Valley and Ostrov in Bohemian Switzerland await you there. The way back is a mixture of woodland and forest roads. It goes steadily downhill from the plateau to the starting point until you reach the parking lot. Highlights: - Great prospects - Beautiful winter route - Optional stop at Gasthof Ottomühle
