A beautiful tour along the panoramic trail from Amtshainersdorf to Tanečnice and from there through the Sebnitz forest to the Urzeitpark.
The tour leads from Amtshainersdorf from the Sebnitz Valley via the Panorama Trail to Tanečnice - a mountain with a viewing tower in Bohemian Switzerland, from where you can look out over the entire Elbe Sandstone Mountains. From Tanečnice, the trail then leads through the Sebnitz Forest to the primeval park in Sebnitz.
Station Amtshainersdorf
Station Sebnitz
The tour starts at the Amtshainersdorf stop and from there first follows the red dot over the Sebnitz and along it until a signpost with a yellow line points to the right to Hochbusch, Knechtsbachtal and Kuhstall. The route first goes up the hill through a housing estate and then along a country road until you leave the village and are back in the forest.
At the next major crossroads, follow the yellow dot to the left on the panoramic trail above Sebnitz along the Alte Hohe Straße to Tomasov.
Shortly after Tomasov, follow the blue line to the left up to Tanečnice. From Tanečnice, follow the yellow line across the border crossing and through the Mannsgraben ditch to the Mannsgraben hut.
From the Mannsgraben hut, continue to the right following the yellow dot through the Sebnitz forest until a signpost points right to the primeval park.
After visiting the primeval park, first walk along the road called Forstweg to Sebnitz and then turn left along the road into the town. Follow the yellow dot to the Sebnitz National Park railway station, where the tour ends.
Optionally, the tour can also be ended at the border crossing after the Tanečnice via the Ilse-ohne-Sorge-Weg and Kaiserberg to Sebnitz. This takes you past the KIEZ and the Sebnitz market square.
We recommend sturdy footwear and sufficient food and drink, as some of the paths are unpaved and it is always a good idea to have something to eat and drink with you. It is also worth stopping off at the Waldhaus and/or Tanečnice.You can enjoy the view from Tanečnice even more with binoculars. You have to pay an entrance fee for the observation tower on Tanečnice and for the primeval park - but it's worth it.
You can drive to the Bad Schandau National Park railway station, park there and then take the U28 National Park Railway.
To get here, we recommend taking the National Park railway U28 from Bad Schandau in the direction of Rumburk to the Amtshainersdorf stop. (In Bad Schandau you can easily change from the S-Bahn S1 to the National Park railway U28).
