Description
The circular route over Königsberg leads through forests and meadows and invites you to relax. In the wonderful surroundings of Edlitz, you can forget everyday stress while hiking. At the Lehenkreuz, you enjoy a panoramic view of the hilly landscape of the Bucklige Welt. The town center of Edlitz, with its good infrastructure, is an ideal starting point for hiking and walking paths. A visit to the beautiful late Gothic fortress church in Edlitz and the interesting and informative introductory documentation of the Fortress Church Trail is definitely worthwhile.
