Loop
This iconic route is a mix of rocks and roots, with steep climbs and flowing descents. This trail leads through the heart of the Zittau Mountains Nature Park, the smallest low mountain range in Germany. The route explores a unique landscape characterized by volcanic cones and sandstone formations such as the Kelchsteine. The route offers a technical challenge for anyone looking for a real outdoor adventure in the border triangle of Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic. Look out for the historic steam-powered narrow-gauge railroad that has connected these mountain villages since 1890. This tour requires a high level of fitness and sure-footedness to master the winding paths and undergrowth throughout the Zittau Mountains.
