On foot through the magical land: Hiking in the Zittau Mountains
The Zittau Mountains, a low mountain range in the south-eastern part of Saxony, are a true paradise for hiking enthusiasts. With its rolling hills, dense forests and breathtaking views, it offers the perfect backdrop for exciting hikes in the district of Görlitz. The Zitttau Mountains stretch along the German-Czech border and are home to peaks such as Hochwald, Oybin and Lausche. In this blog post, we discover the fascination of hiking in the Zittau Mountains, from the best routes to the hidden treasures of this idyllic landscape.
Pure nature: flora and fauna of the Zittau Mountains
During a hike in the Zittau Mountains, you not only immerse yourself in the world of mountains and valleys, but also in unique flora and fauna. The region is home to rare plant species and provides a habitat for numerous animal species. A particular highlight is the splendour of the flowers in spring, when the meadows are transformed into a sea of colourful blossoms and butterflies dance through the air. Nature lovers and explorers get their money's worth here.
Hotel tip:
The Romantik Hotel Zum Lindengarten in Jonsdorf is the perfect starting point for hikes in the Zittau Mountains.
On the way to historical sites
Discover cultural treasures: The Zittau Mountains are not only a natural paradise, but also rich in cultural treasures. The route along the historic "Via Regia" leads to medieval towns such as Zittau and Görlitz, which impress with their charming old towns and magnificent buildings. A detour to the striking rocks of the "Teufelskanzel" (Devil's Pulpit) tells stories from times long past and turns the hike into a journey through time. The castle ruins and Oybin Monastery are also well worth a visit.
The choice of routes: The right one for every hiker
A particular highlight of the Zittau Mountains is the variety of hiking trails, which are suitable for both beginners and experienced hikers. The "Smuggler's Route", for example, leads through dense forests and conveys a sense of adventure. For families, the "Fuchsbauweg" offers a child-friendly route with interactive stations that will delight young explorers. Those looking for a challenge can take on the more demanding "Felsengipfelweg" and will be rewarded with breathtaking panoramas. From the village of Oybin, a wonderful circular trail takes you up to the monastery and the castle ruins.
Hiking in the Zittau Mountains at any time of year
Another advantage of the Zittau Mountains is that you can lace up your hiking boots at any time of year. In spring and summer, blossoming landscapes and pleasant temperatures offer ideal conditions. In autumn, the colourful foliage enchants the forests, while winter creates a fairytale atmosphere with snow-covered paths. Each season has its own charms and makes the Zittau Mountains a year-round hiking destination.
