This charming river hiking tour can be planned for various distances. Whether on the pilgrim's path from Bautzen to Grubschütz, to Obergurig, or even Großpostwitz? The bus helps you get back!
On the Saxon Way of St. James / Spreeradweg, past the Spreebad, you go over the Neuesche Promenade into the Humboldthain. The mostly shaded path follows the river course to Grubschütz, where the "Spreetal" invites you to stop for a break. From here, you could either hike back the same way or continue along the Spree. The Doberschauer Schanze, a remnant of a Sorbian castle complex, is worth a detour. In Obergurig, the Old Watermill attracts visitors. It charmingly combines a technical monument and culinary delights. Continuing along the Spreeradweg, at the 300-year-old stone arch bridge, the Kuchenhäusel offers refreshment. Here, the old trade route Bautzen-Prague crossed the Spree. From Mönchswalde, you could take a bus back to Bautzen from the "Mönchswalde Wendeplatz" stop. Continue the tour along the road toward Berge, with a view of the Großpostwitz church tower on the left, walk into the village until the main road B96, and take a bus back from Pilgerschänke.
