Zum Kaltenberg

Beautiful tour into Bohemia: First flat in the Elbe valley to Herrnskretschen (Hřensko), then steep to the plateau near Johnsdorf (Janov) and back down into the valley of Kamnitz (Kamenice) via Rosendorf (Růžová) and Kamnitzleiten (Kamenická Stráň) to the former Grundmühle (Dolský Mlýn). Through the valley of Dittersbach Biela, one reaches the beautiful little town of Dittersbach (Jetřichovice) with its noteworthy rock landscape. Following the country road to Schemmel (Všemily) and the left-turning bike path 21. The path is first quite rocky and steep through the forest, but then flatter over the meadow. Here one already has a nice view of the Kaltenberg. In Kunnersdorf, one initially keeps left, follows the road to the upper end of the village, keeps right here and after a forest passage arrives at the heavily trafficked road to Hasel (Líska). One turns left from the main road into the village and steeply climbs to the saddle at Kaltenberg. If desired, one can walk up the mountain with a historic tower; the view is well worth it. From here, stick to the blue hiking trail markers and reach Kreibitz (Chribska) by following the road on the last kilometer. Turning left goes down the village and at the next intersection, one follows the road to Daubitz (Doubice) and Khaa (Kyjov). From here, one rolls down the Khaatal (Kyjovske udoli) to the border crossing Hinterdaubitz (Zadni Doubice) / Niedermühle. Through Wettinplatz and Hollweg, one arrives back in the valley of the Kirnitzsch and continues along it to Bad Schandau.
