Once again, a tour in the Neisse Valley was planned. Usually, we always automatically went to the Neisse Valley first, but today we deliberately decided to go in the opposite direction. As a result, we first climbed up into the monastery forest and crossed it from north to south. Finally, however, we headed in the direction of the B99 and …

The monastery is a stop on the Via Sacra cultural route and …

The department decided to go for a relaxing walk before we start the strategy workshop tomorrow...

This beautiful but challenging hike turned out to be the one we chose.

After the rain stopped, our desire to cover more kilometers grew stronger and stronger.

Update:
We practically dug up everything...

Unfortunately, the GPS failed several times. If you want to follow the tour: you walk along the Neisse cycle path to Rosenthal and on the way back always follow the signs towards Ostritz or Marienthal Monastery. It's not really possible to get lost or take a wrong turn. (Total distance 20 km)
