Radtour von Berggießhübel zur Grenzplatte

Route:

Berggießhübel - Bahra - Grenzplatte - Hellendorf - Bad Gottleuba - Berggießhübel Route length: approx. 30 km Route description: From the car park at the Marie-Louise-Stolln visitor mine in Berggießhübel, cycle downhill and cross the Eisenstraße. This road was formerly used as a transport route for the iron ore mines in the Gottleuba valley to the hammer mills on the banks of the Bahra river. Soon you reach the town of the same name; after a longer, steady climb you pass through the small village of Raum. From there, surrounded by the foothills of the Elbsandsteingebirge, after about 6 km you reach the Grenzplatte. From this romantic rock formation you get a fantastic view of the popular climbing area in the Bielatal. Then you cycle along the border with the Czech Republic through a large stand of spruce trees and from the approximately 550 m high Zeisigstein you can enjoy the view over the mountain meadows of the Osterzgebirge. From here it is only a few minutes by bike to the Bahra valley. Afterwards you return to your starting point in Berggießhübel via Hellendorf and Bad Gottleuba. Difficulty: The tour runs mostly on flat terrain. Smaller climbs are on the Eisenstraße, from Bahra towards Raum, and in the rear Schaftwald towards the Grenzplatte. A slightly steeper climb is the approximately 1.5 km section from Hellendorf towards Bad Gottleuba, which can alternatively be avoided by taking a ride through the Bahra valley via Markersbach and Bahra back to Berggießhübel.
