Passing the idyllic Amselsee, you reach Rathen with its numerous restaurants. Strengthened you go to the highlight of the tour - to the Basteibrücke - before you arrive back at the starting point.  ATTENTION: The Schwedenlöcher are currently closed until the end of March 2023 due to renovation work!
