Directions
The route starts at the Amtshainersdorf stop and initially follows the red dot along the Sebnitz and alongside it until a signpost with a yellow line points right to Hochbusch, Knechtsbachtal, and Kuhstall. At first, it goes through a residential area uphill and then along a country road until you leave the village and enter the forest again.
At the next larger junction, follow the yellow dot to the left on the Panoramaweg above Sebnitz on the Alte Hohe Straße to Tomasov (Thomasdorf).
Shortly after Tomasov, follow the blue line to the left uphill to the Tanzplan (Tanečnice). From the Tanzplan, follow the yellow line again over the border crossing and through the Mannsgraben to the Mannsgraben hut.
From the Mannsgraben hut, continue to the right following the yellow dot through the Sebnitz forest until a signpost points right to the Urzeitpark.
After visiting the Urzeitpark, hike first along the road named Forstweg to the Sebnitz and then left along the road into the town. Here too, continue to follow the yellow dot to the Nationalpark station Sebnitz, where the route ends.
Optionally, at the border crossing after the Tanzplan, the route can also end via the Ilse-ohne-Sorge-Weg and Kaiserberg to Sebnitz. This way, you pass by KIEZ and the marketplace of Sebnitz.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
Sturdy footwear and adequate provisions are recommended since the paths are partly unpaved and it is always good to have some food and drink with you. Furthermore, a visit to the Waldhaus or/and at the Tanzplan is worthwhile.
With binoculars, you can enjoy the view from the Tanzplan (Tanečnice) even more. There is an admission fee for the lookout tower at the Tanzplan and for the Urzeitpark – but it is worth it.
