It is very worthwhile to get the key to the Altan, a wooden tower above the cemetery, from the hotel reception or tourist info. The small tower, which offers a great panoramic view, is reached via the cemetery. From the cemetery, the path goes to Berthelsdorf and from there further to Herwigsdorf. A very worthwhile detour is to the basalt rock Hirschberg, a pretty place and a beautiful view. The ascent and descent and the view from the Löbau tower are wonderful.
