This circular tour with a section on the Kammweg connects the center of the mountain town of Sayda with the long-distance hiking trail and leads via Kreuztanne, Oberes Vorwerk, Salzstraße and Schwemmteiche back to the starting point. Along the way, local delicacies invite you to take a break.

The tour begins at the St. Johannis local history museum along the white-blue-white markings to Kreuztanne. From there, turn right along the ridge path towards Neuhausen. At the refuge, turn right again into the forest on the white-blue-white trail in the direction of Sayda - Schwemmteiche. From there, return to Sayda via the Kleine Vorwerk with the inn of the same name.

On the way, you will come across the family-friendly Blockline cycle route, marked with a B on a yellow sign, which cannot be overlooked by the wooden milestones. We ask for mutual consideration.

The Sayda Painters' Trail as a tip for another hiking tour. Artists have been inspired by the landscape around Sayda to create touching works. A number of paintings from the large collection are exhibited along the trail, comparing past and present.
