Flatland hiking through the heath in the Sorbian settlement area (Marking sign: green dot)
A pleasant half-day route through long pine forests and easily walkable field paths amidst the Sorbian settlement area.
The bilingual municipality of Ralbitz-Rosenthal is located in the core area of the Sorbian-speaking Lusatia. Many traditions and customs, especially Sorbian ones, are lovingly maintained in the villages.
In Rosenthal, there is a Marian pilgrimage site which was supervised by Cistercians until 2007. Several pilgrimages take place annually on the pilgrimage meadow, including those of the Diocese of Dresden-Meissen. The pilgrimage site Rosenthal is one of five pilgrimage places united in the association "Central European Pilgrimage Sites" since 2000.
Long coniferous and mixed forests, well-maintained paths, and pleasant rest areas at the many ponds of the region make the flatland hikes around the village relaxing experiences.
