The Köglerova naučná stezka (Kögler Nature Trail) is one of the most beautiful educational trails in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, featuring 39 boards and an official length of around 24 kilometers (excluding detours). It runs as a circular hike, which can also be done in 2 stages, from Krasna Lipa (Schönlinde) mainly along the Lusatian thrust, where the Lusatian granite plate meets the Elbe sandstone plate, providing a lot of interesting information about the nature, history, and formation of the region.

The circular hike starts and ends in Krásná Lípa (Schönlinde) and leads from there over Maschkenberg to Kyjov to the Rocky Path of Khaa, where you can also stay overnight if you want to split the route into two stages. From Kyjov, it continues over Wolfsberg back to the starting point, passing many other interesting places and viewpoints. The pure nature educational trail is about 24 km long, but taking one or another detour to significant sites is recommended.

The route profile is not very demanding and the paths and trails are relatively easy to hike. Only the Rocky Path of Khaa and the ascent and descent to Wolfsberg are considered somewhat more challenging.
