Loop
A beautiful day circular hike awaits you here. Which follows the German-Czech border for a while, leads you to the Czech Norkap (the most northerly point of the Czech Republic), leads you through the disused open-cast mining area Valtengrund and continues up the mountain on a partly quite stony but very beautiful path up to the Valtenberg. On top of the Valtenberg there is an inn and a lookout tower. For € 1 entry you get a nice all-round view (as of 10/2017). Now it goes downhill again, you follow a piece of the Oberlausitzer Bergweg that brings you to the Wesenitzquelle, then you continue to the cone play forest, which brings children closer to the forest in a beautiful way. And back to the starting point in Steinigtwolmsdorf. The section around the North Cape is sometimes quite humid as it is partly right next to the Hilgersdorfer Bach, in some places you have to change sides from time to time. Not tragic, with one step you are over, but good shoes and walking sticks give you a secure hold.
