With the bicycleBUS, you can comfortably travel on weekends and public holidays between April and October from Pirna to Berggießhübel and even take e-bikes with you to overcome the first altitude meters from the Elbe valley.
From the parking lot at the Marie Louise Stolln visitor mine in Berggießhübel, you ride downhill and pass the Eisenstraße. It was formerly used as a transport route for the iron ore mines in the Gottleuba valley to the hammer mills on the banks of the Bahra river.
Soon you reach the eponymous town; after a longer, steady climb you pass through the small town of Raum. From there, surrounded by foothills of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, you reach the Grenzplatte after about 6 km. From this romantic rock formation, there is a fantastic view of the popular climbing area in the Bielatal. Then you cycle along the border with the Czech Republic through a large spruce forest and can enjoy the view from the approximately 550 m high Zeisigstein of the mountain meadows of the Eastern Ore Mountains. From here, it is only a few minutes by bike to the Bahra valley. Afterwards you reach your starting point in Berggießhübel again via Hellendorf and Bad Gottleuba.
