Entrance to Gröditzer Skala (behind the castle)

Highlight • Trail

Right next to the castle: the start of a beautiful tour through the Gröditzer skala. There is also a small, cozy café and pilgrimage house, with delicious cakes…

Wooden bridge over the Löbauer Wasser

Highlight • Bridge

One of the special bridges over the Löbauer Wasser and worth a visit or crossing. Not entirely safe in rain and snow. Definitely a highlight. You don't see such a mighty tree trunk every day.

The tour is very nice and leads directly along the water, especially in the first half. Unfortunately, the paths are t.w. washed away so that you should be surefooted. On the way back there are a lot of fallen trees. A true climbing experience. If you don't want to do that, just follow the upper path.

After a morning discussion, I was able to get my way and postpone the festive goose feast until the evening. After all, the sun was shining from a bright blue sky all day long and called for exercise in the fresh air.
And so we set off on a tour through the Gröditz Scala, described as "easy". The "easy" only …

Like in 2022 and 2023, in 2024 the “start of the year hike” went to the Gröditz scale. An almost unique nature reserve in Upper Lusatia.

As at the turn of the year a year ago (komoot.de/tour/622635738) again quasi-maritime weather in Upper Lusatia. So the decision was easy: this time again Gröditzer Skala as the start of the year hike, but without the castle and pilgrim house (if you don't know them yet, you should start there, on the mountain in Gröditz).

I would definitely include the "Gröditzer Skala" nature reserve in Antje Kluth's list of "Happy Places in Upper Lusatia" (ISBN 978-3-7700-2297-7). It's possible that the Düsseldorf resident hasn't been there yet. In any case, we chose this gem for our New Year's walk for the fourth year in a row. Contrary to the conservationists' ambition to leave nature here to …

Skala means rocky valley in Sorbian and runs along the Löbauer Wasser. The hiking trail runs between …

For the bridge day, we went to the Gröditzer Skala with the grandchildren. It was the first hike for the little one, so something simple with variety had to be found. Otherwise a whirlwind and not afraid of anything but being so close to the water made you a little anxious. The scale is always worth a visit.
