This tour features caves, a unique rock labyrinth and secluded wilderness.
The cross-border hike starts at the Ottomühle mill. In the Bielatal valley, keep right and follow the red line towards Grenzplatte. Follow the Wormsbergweg trail to the Grenzplatte and continue across the border to the Tyssaer Wänden/Tiské Steny. You can explore the bizarre rock world on a beautiful circular trail. From the Tyssa Walls, follow the red line through the rocks to Ostrov (Eiland), which you cross on the road. At the end of the village you come back onto a wide forest road and return to the Bielagrund forest area. The tour then ends again at the Otto mill.
