Ascent to Tautenburg Castle Tower

Highlight • Castle

The ascent and descent are quite strenuous and you take this route at your own risk - you could also take a longer route... it is definitely worth it.

View from the Zietschkuppe over the Gleistal Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ascent from Löberschütz is steep and surefootedness is essential. The view makes up for all the effort. In spring (end of April to beginning of May) the spider plantar can be found.
