Additional information

The route starts at Goethepark in Bad Gottleuba. Turn left onto Hellensdorfer Straße, then left again onto Kurvenstraße until you reach the S173 toward Hellendorf. Continue across the border. After the gas station, turn left onto the marked bike path 3017. It leads to Rájec. In town, stay on bike path 3017 toward Tisá until you reach bike route 23, the “Krušnohorská magistrála” (Ore Mountains Highway). Near Tisá, rock faces rise up to 70 m high—a paradise for naturalists, climbers, and tourists alike. This unique rock formation is considered a rarity and is also known as the “Rock City.” However, the area can only be explored on foot, not by bike. The return trip to Bad Gottleuba follows Cycle Route 23 to Petrovice, via Hellendorf and the winding road.
