Beiersdorf between Bieleboh and Steinklunsen

Beiersdorf lies in the Upper Lusatian Highlands, in the Upper Lusatian Highlands Landscape Protection Area, in a valley between Bieleboh and Steinklunsen. The landscape provides a clear framework for planning a trip, complemented by trails, views and local culture. You can focus your stay more on outdoor activities or on sights and architectural heritage. This gives you several ways to get to know Beiersdorf.

Views and trails

Bieleboh has an observation tower and a mountain inn. The panorama extends towards the Jizera Mountains, the Zittau Mountains and the Bohemian border region. This makes the views a focus in their own right, alongside walking the hiking trails. When weighing up trip ideas, you can consider whether you would prefer to take in expansive views across the landscape or spend more time exploring on foot.

Beiersdorf has many easy-to-walk, well-marked hiking trails, as well as an extensive network of hiking and cycling routes. For hikes, the trail markings and ease of walking offer practical points of reference. Cycling is another activity option thanks to the developed network. When planning, you can choose between hiking, cycling or both, without treating the routes as a single, uniform offering.

Sights and architectural heritage

Local sights include the Evangelical Lutheran Church with its Baroque altar with pulpit, the former narrow-gauge railway track, a wayside cross, Amselgrund Park and a waterwheel at the Brettmühle mill. The church offers a specific example of religious furnishings, while the former railway track provides a different historical focus. The park and waterwheel add to these themes. Interests therefore range from church furnishings and local history to nature and technology.

Another architectural feature is the many preserved and renovated Upper Lusatian half-timbered houses with surrounding frameworks. These add a recurring feature of the townscape to the individual sights. If you would also like to discover Beiersdorf through its architectural heritage, you can make these houses a focus of your trip planning. This offers a different perspective on the place from looking at individual monuments such as the church or wayside cross.

Görlitz as a cultural destination in its own right

In the wider travel destination of Görlitz, the city’s culture offers a focus of its own. The Schönhof in Görlitz was rebuilt in the Renaissance style from 1526 after a city fire. It is the main building of the Silesian Museum in Görlitz and is one of the oldest Renaissance buildings north of the Alps. The “Walk of Görliwood®” offers a different way to explore: using the free SmartGuide app, it takes you individually from filming location to filming location throughout Görlitz. Check that the app is available before your trip.
