Bautzen's History Trail - the outer loop
The outer loop offers the most beautiful panoramic views of Bautzen's old town, leading along monuments that are mostly not located in the old town.
Around 1400 there was only scattered development on this route, whereas today it feels almost like moving within the old town.
The route is best done by bicycle - as a walk of about 3 hours, there are some helpful stairs that help to shorten this route and include more beautiful views.
Author’s recommendation
the route can be extended with numerous indoor visits - it is never very far to the next restaurant
For €2.50, the tourist information offers the accompanying booklet for the monument trail, where this route is also marked on the map and all the board texts are summarized. Each object includes a picture.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
