They are not the most beautiful paths but still easily passable and a beautiful landscape.

The St. Michael's Church in Zeithain dates back to a small village church and received its current form with a tower and net vault in 1596. After fire and lightning damage, it was rebuilt several times, most recently visibly renovated from 2000 onwards. Today a quiet stop with a beautiful, well-kept churchyard.
