Flatland hiking through the heath in the Sorbian settlement area - not signposted -
The route is a wonderfully extensive hike through the heath in the Sorbian settlement area. Deep pine forests and long shady forest paths offer plenty of time to recharge your energy or simply switch off from everyday life.
The bilingual municipality of Ralbitz-Rosenthal is located in the core area of the Sorbian-speaking Lusatia. In the villages, many Sorbian traditions and customs are still lovingly maintained.
In Rosenthal, there is a Marian pilgrimage site, which was cared for by Cistercians until 2007. Several pilgrimages are held annually on the pilgrimage meadow, including that of the Diocese of Dresden-Meißen. The pilgrimage site Rosenthal is one of the five pilgrimage sites united since 2000 in the association "Central European Pilgrimage Sites."
Long coniferous and mixed forests, well-maintained paths, and cozy rest areas at the many ponds in the region make the flatland hikes around the town relaxing experiences.
