Easy to drive on. You just need to be careful on the bridge as it can be a bit slippery even when the weather is nice.

A section of the Steinach river that has been largely straightened to the GDR. The inflow that can be seen in some photos is the outflow of the sewage treatment plant in Heubisch.

Even during the hottest summer months, it remains pleasantly shady and cool here. Furthermore, the path is always impeccably maintained. If you use it in the early morning, you can often observe cormorants, herons, or cranes.

Mitwitz moated castle

Highlight • Castle

The moated castle is the landmark of Mitwitz and an absolute highlight. A visit to the castle surrounded by water with its many original furnishings from the 16th to 20th centuries is very worthwhile.
