Eine leicht anspruchsvolle Tour, durch das Tal der Biela mit schönen Fernblicken.

From the bus stop, we turn left over the bridge into the village of Rosenthal. Climbing steadily, we reach the village square on a good asphalt surface, where a road branches off in the direction of Schweizermühle. However, we keep straight on. We continue through the upper village to the customs houses and on along Schneeberger Straße to the pedestrian border crossing to the Czech Republic. Once there, we stay on the German side and follow the forest road diagonally to the right until the next large crossroads with a signpost. Here the route turns sharp right, initially quite steep, later more moderate on a wide, partly rugged hiking trail into the valley of the dry Biela. This valley flows into the Bielatal 1.5 km further on, into which we turn right. We roll leisurely down the valley on a good forest track until we reach the Ottomühle mill. Here we finally have the opportunity to stop for a bite to eat. We continue along the road, which is now tarmac again. At the large car park, you can still admire the bizarre rock formations of the Pillars of Hercules, then you are almost at the Schweizermühle. After a further 1.4 kilometres, you reach the starting point of the tour again.
