An offroad route especially for fans of former railway lines that are now used as hiking or cycling trails – including two short tunnels and a viaduct.

A hiking trail leads from Lohsdorf to Goßdorf-Kohlmühle through the romantic Schwarzbachtal. Since this path uses some sections of the old track bed of the former narrow-gauge railway line to Hohnstein, but the track is not asphalted, a robust or off-road capable handbike is recommended. Riding through two short railway tunnels as well as over the viaduct that crosses the Sebnitzbach is one of the undisputed highlights of the route. Attention: The short, steep ascent (about 100 m) on a gravel path just behind the rest area at the former Buttermilchmühle requires additional pushing support from companions! Also, for crossing the arched metal grate bridge over the Sebnitz about 700 m later, help may be necessary! Under these conditions, however, the short adventure route becomes an impressive experience.
