Discover Doberschau-Gaußig

This makes it easy to distinguish between local attractions and the larger range of routes.

Historic Schlosspark in Gaußig

The district of Gaußig is home to a historic park covering 28 hectares. Its historic design features rare trees and shrubs, including rhododendrons, azaleas, and large oak trees. The area figure conveys the scale of the grounds, while the woody plants give it a distinctive landscape character. If you are interested in park design and different types of trees and shrubs, the park is a highlight in its own right when planning your trip. It offers a different focus from the hiking routes in the municipality.

Check the length and trail markings locally before planning your hike. Route information and markings may change as a result of local maintenance.

Cycling and cultural highlights in Bautzen District

In the wider destination of Bautzen District, regional cycling tours complement the local hiking routes. The Bautzener Nordtour is 43.1 kilometers long and runs from Bautzen via Quatitz, Großdubrau, Milkel, Klix, and Malschwitz, returning to Bautzen. Along the way, it passes through the heath and pond landscape and along the nature trail in Crosta. The route thus combines a specific circular tour with landscape and nature highlights.

Other regional circular tours in Bautzen District include the Berg- und Talroute through the Westlausitzer Hügelland and the Krabatradweg, following in the footsteps of the Sorbian legendary hero Krabat. The Mittellandroute follows a different course: this long-distance cycling route runs from Zittau to Aachen, with a section through the Oberlausitzer Bergland in Bautzen District. The Spreeradweg also extends beyond the region, from its source in Upper Lusatia to Berlin; its section from Taubenheim to Zerre lies in Bautzen District. These examples distinguish circular tours from routes with more widely separated endpoints.

Another regional cultural highlight is Upper Lusatian carnival. Its strongholds in Bautzen District are Schirgiswalde and Wittichenau. This broadens the range of themes in Bautzen District, from cycling routes and landscapes to a regional tradition.
