Forecast for Bischofswerda

10-day forecast
One of the most popular hiking routes in Bischofswerda leads through the city forest. This idyllic forest stretches for several kilometres and offers numerous well-marked hiking trails. Here you can enjoy the tranquillity of nature and be sporty at the same time. Especially in spring, the city forest shines in full splendour with its blooming wildflowers.

Another highlight are the hikes along the Wesenitz River. The Wesenitztalweg follows the course of the river and leads past impressive rock formations as well as small waterfalls. This route is perfect for family outings as it is relatively flat and offers many picnic spots along the way.

For experienced hikers, we recommend the climb to Keulenberg, the highest point in the Bischofswerda area. From here you have a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire surrounding area all the way to Saxon Switzerland. Especially in autumn, when the leaves turn colourful, this tour becomes an unforgettable experience.

In addition to these main hiking trails, there are numerous smaller routes that take you through picturesque villages and idyllic landscapes. Whether you want to take a short hike with your children or are looking for a challenging day tour - you are sure to find what you are looking for in Bischofswerda.

    Wir sind den Bergweg am Stück gelaufen und haben dort geschlafen, wo der Tag sich dem Ende neigte. Der Aufstig auf den Valtenberg nach dem ersten Tag ist nicht so sonderlich freundlich und die Beschilderung ist mal doppelt dreifach gesichert und mal wenig. Doch alles in allem ein sehr schöner Weg, man kann ihn fast ohne digitale Navigation bewandern und bewundern. Wir sind mit Aussichten und Schlafplätzen und was man sonst noch so auf der Tour macht auf 182km gekommen. Doch wir machen immer etwas mehr als auf dem Plan steht. Für uns war es jeden einzelnen Schritt wert.

    Vielen Dank für den guten Tipp! Die Südroute bietet offene Landschaften mit Weitblick und Wanderwege durch Wälder. Besonders beeindruckt haben mich die Baumalleen.

    Der Oberlausitzer Bergweg ist zu großen Teilen ein Abschnitt des Weitwanderweges Zittau-Wernigerode. Im Zittauer Gebirge läßt er viele Highlights links liegen. Wir haben den Weg modifiziert um an folgenden Orten vorbeizukommen: Kloster Oybin, Felsengasse, Rosensteine und Kelchstein, Jonsdorfer Felsenstadt, Lausche. Die auf der Homepage des Weges angegebenen Unterkünfte passten mit 1 Ausnahme für uns nicht. Wir haben hier übernachtet: Pension Unter den Linden in Bischofswerda (2mal, Busanbindung nach Neukirch) Prinz-Friedrich-August-Baude Hotel Bergwirtschaft Bieleboh Pension Grandel in Eibau-Walddorf Pension Deutsche Eiche In GrossSchönau Hochwaldbaude bei Oybin Hotel Zittauer Hof in Zittau Alle diese Unterkünfte waren sehr gut. Die auf der Homepage angegebenen Wegeschäden waren unproblematisch und völlig im normalen Rahmen.

    Sehr schöne Strecke für den Saisonauftakt. Die Schneewehen waren etwas lästig, das schmälert aber nicht die Qualität der Strecke. Es gibt genug Gastronomie, so dass man sich Verpflegung im Prinzip sparen kann (außer ausreichend zu trinken). Der letzte Abschnitt an der Bahnstrecke nach Bischoffswerda ist ein wenig unspannend, aber auch schnell gemacht.
