Loop
Challenging trail run in the Zittau Mountains, Saxony
This route follows the 50 km of the O-See Ultra Trail and leads along varied paths through the idyllic German-Czech border region.
Due to the many ascents and descents, there are quite a few meters in altitude - good physical condition, sturdy shoes and sure-footedness are therefore highly recommended, regardless of whether the route is hiked or run. There are places to stop for refreshments. Accessible by bus and train (short walk from the Oybin stop).
