Directions

**Follow the route preferably counterclockwise, as the signage is patchy in the opposite direction.**

After Kleinholscha, cross the B96 and follow the meadow path. Don't be confused if the path is somewhat overgrown – it leads into the forest at the edge of the field. You are on the right track when you find the frog marking at the forest edge.

Next, there is a well-marked path section along the orchid meadow to an observation tower and the ponds up to the old pond and further to the paved path between Holschdubrau and Quoos. Here, turn left and after a few meters turn right again into the birch avenue.

Now the path leads you south around the Litzenteich. For this section up to the southern end of the pond, the route is not quite clear; zoom the map in a bit for more detail. Unfortunately, the path is sometimes very muddy here. But don’t worry – a beautiful section follows with the opportunity to rest directly at Litzenteich with a bench, great views, and several information boards.

At the northern end of Litzenteich, head north on the path between Luppa and Quoos. Here, turn left towards the pine forest and follow the path to the single-family house in the forest. Here, the path forks, and you ride north towards Holschdubrau. This section is easily passable, although meadows ponds and swampy forests border the path on both sides.

From Holschdubrau to Neudorf, ideally follow the hiking mark with the blue line, as the frog marking is unfortunately very rare until then. !!!! Do not follow the marking of the frog bike path that you cross in Holschdubrau!!!!

In Neudorf, you have to cross the B96 again but can surprise children with a small playground at the edge of the village.

Now you reach the Neschwitz palace park and turn right towards the castle after the black and gold bridge. Take enough time to explore the castle grounds. Your “tip of the car.”

Now go back to the black and gold bridge, but do not cross it. Instead, go straight ahead and follow the river (Hoyerswerdaer Schwarzwasser).

Then cross the S98 (road to Neschwitz), go left past the oak tree straight across the field to the old railway bridge. This path takes you back to Kleinholscha, the destination of this route.
