The hike from Dittersbach through the Lieblingstal valley and on through the Wesenitz valley back to Dittersbach is truly beautiful, even in winter. Parking in Dittersbach near the DISKA supermarket is very easy. This tour is also very suitable for families with young children. At the end, there's a lovely playground and a self-service ice cream stand. Along the way, there are many interesting things for young and old to admire. In summer, you can enjoy panoramic views from the "Schöne Aussicht" (Beautiful View) tower.

Hubertus Chapel in the Liebling Valley. Neo-Gothic (partially reconstructed), the lower part of the chapel that still stands is old. Testimony to the work of Johann Gottlob von Quandt, of architectural, local historical, and personal historical significance.

View of the inaccessible Dittersbach Castle. Information: Built between 1555 and 1563, the castle underwent several alterations in the 18th century and again between 1820 and 1840. It formerly belonged to the von Quandt family. The manor and the castle are steeped in history.
