Directions

We leave Bad Schandau via the Elbe cycle path and cross the bridge over the Elbe. We stay on the road and turn off in the direction of Gohrisch. Below the Kleinhennerdorfer Stein, we enter the forest, pass the Papststein and Gohrisch and continue slowly uphill.

In Cunnersdorf, we meet the Saxon Central Uplands long-distance cycle route and follow it south along the Taubenbachweg. We cycle past the forest pool parallel to the Cunnersdorf stream. We stay on the Taubenbachweg until we reach the Taubenteich, a pond directly on the Saxon-Bohemian border. The Forststeig trail also runs here.

After a short break, we continue parallel to the border in the direction of Zschirnstein and then on to Reinhardtsdorf-Schöna, where we have a fantastic view of the Schrammsteine. In the village, we cycle downhill through the Hirschgrund to the Elbe cycle path, which leads us back to Bad Schandau via Krippen.
