WHY GO?
Discover picturesque sandstone rock formations and small mountain villages, with lovely Upper Lusatian houses (Umgebindehaus). The Zittau Mountains have a history of the wonderful world of legends and fairy tales. Hike up and along the sandstone cliffs with a pre-set walk that is 15k long, and get stunning views across the national park. Visit three different countries in one day, and see the beautiful spa town of Oybin with its castles and monasteries, before heading back to the baroque town of Zittau on one of the country’s oldest, narrow-gauge steam-powered railways. If you’ve been to Saxon Switzerland and wanted more, then this is the day trip for you.
