This circular hiking trail allows people traveling on both sides of our connecting border to the Czech Republic to meet and explore the treasures of each other's country.

This circular hiking trail is about 13 km and suitable for a day hike, during which highlights of the path, the silence of nature, movement through town and village, or refreshing breaks can be experienced.

The path can be started in the Czech Republic, in Sluknov (Schluckenau), at the Trinity column on the market, or at the commemorative stone for 666 years of Taubenheim in the middle of the Sundial Village.

There are monuments along the way which are also described on Monument Hiking Trail route 1.

Crossing the border through the forest, you will find old settlements and new ensembles; in the neighboring town of Sluknov, impressive buildings and monuments can be seen, such as the wonderfully rebuilt castle with tourist information or the Catholic Church of St. Wenceslas.

No matter which direction is taken – the possibility that people from both countries will meet during their explorations is very likely and should be used for a friendly exchange of words.
