Großdubrau: Circular Walking Trail and Cycling Routes

Großdubrau offers two specific starting points for planning your tours: the 9-kilometer Großdubrau Circular Walking Trail and several routes connected with the town. This lets you choose between a walk and themed cycling routes. Which activity should be the focus of your stay? This is a useful question to consider before choosing a hotel: are you planning your trip around a hike or a bike ride?

Electrical Porcelain and Technology

The Margarethenhütte Electrical Porcelain Museum shows how electrical porcelain was made in a listed circular-kiln building dating from 1885. At the museum, you can see production processes, try out some activities yourself, and view a 1938 crude-oil engine that can generate electricity. This brings a specific manufacturing process, hands-on activities, and a particular machine together in one museum. You can consider the visit a cultural experience focused on the production of electrical porcelain; the engine also offers a distinct connection to technology. Visiting arrangements may change. Check the current visiting arrangements before your visit.

The Großdubrau Circular Walking Trail

The Großdubrau Circular Walking Trail is 9 kilometers long and follows a circular route. There are rest areas and viewpoints along the way, with views toward the regional hills. From Südstraße, the view extends across the reservoir. The distance gives you a specific basis for planning; rest areas and viewpoints offer opportunities to take a break and enjoy views of the surroundings along the way. Signage and trail conditions may change. Check current information before setting out.

Named Routes for Planning Your Tours

Routes connected with Großdubrau include the Seeadler Circular Route, the “Sorbische Impressionen” route, and several themed cycling routes. These include “Stadt-Land-Fluss,” “Kranich-Karpfen-Rotbauchunke,” and “Sorben-Glauben-Brauchtum.” The specific route names give you different starting points for choosing a bike ride. Markings and route alignments on the paths and routes mentioned may change; check current information before setting out.

Cycling Routes in the Wider Bautzen District Destination

In the wider Bautzen District destination, the Bautzen North Tour offers a regional cycling option with a clearly specified distance: it is 43.1 kilometers long and runs from Bautzen via Quatitz, Großdubrau, Milkel, Klix, and Malschwitz, returning to Bautzen. The route passes through the heath and pond landscape and along the nature trail in Crosta. This gives you two different formats to choose from: a 9-kilometer hike and a 43.1-kilometer bike ride through several towns.

Other routes also belong to the wider Bautzen District destination, not to the local features of Großdubrau. The Hill and Valley Route is a regional circular tour through the West Lusatian Hills in the Bautzen District. The Krabat Cycle Route is a regional circular tour in the Bautzen District that follows in the footsteps of Krabat, the hero of Sorbian legend. The Central Lowland Route has a different format: a long-distance cycle route from Zittau to Aachen, whose section in the Bautzen District runs through the Upper Lusatian Highlands. This lets you distinguish between a regional loop through the hills, a route themed around Krabat, and a section of a long-distance cycle route as different types of tour.
