The ride through this area is simply beautiful. It's worth taking a moment to sit on a bench and enjoy nature.

The tower directly on the Neisse bridge is a grain silo for a former mill there. Otherwise, it is a beautiful promenade to the next bridge. There are some nice restaurants.

Border crossing for pedestrians and cyclists only. Those who want to take the train from Ostritz to Zittau or Görlitz must go to the Polish side and board the train at Krzewina station.

Attention! E-bikers! And side-by-side riders. The path isn't particularly wide, so why do you have to ride side by side? Even in curves!
