    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.

    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.
