Discover Obercunnersdorf

Obercunnersdorf stands out for its remarkable ensemble of around 250 listed half-timbered houses. The Schunkelhaus is one of the oldest half-timbered houses in the village. Together, the buildings draw attention to a regional architectural style that can be seen here not just in a single house, but across an entire ensemble. For families and other travellers who enjoy combining culture with a variety of activities, this provides a concrete starting point for discovering the village.

Half-timbered houses, crafts and music

During a guided village tour, you will learn about the regional half-timbered building style. Tours of Obercunnersdorf and visits to the local history museum and the Schunkelhaus are possible by prior arrangement and subject to a guide being available. Be sure to arrange such visits before you arrive. This will help you plan your time around the village’s history.

The Museum Heimatstuben Obercunnersdorf offers a different focus: it comprises the Pfarrer-Heinz-Leßmann-Stube, a wheelwright’s workshop and a shoemaker’s workshop. The two workshops give your museum visit a tangible connection to traditional crafts. Together with the Schunkelhaus and the half-timbered houses, they offer different ways to explore the village’s history—from its architectural style to the workspaces on display in the museum.

The village church also contributes a historical detail of its own: its Schuster organ dates from 1898 and was restored in 2009. The two dates mark the instrument’s creation and its later restoration. If you are interested in the history of buildings and objects, the village offers another musical point of interest alongside its houses and workshops. A little over a century separates the organ’s creation from its restoration.

Plan your hike and journey

A published hiking route starts at the Haus des Gastes in Obercunnersdorf, passes through Niedercunnersdorf, Großschweidnitz, Dürrhennersdorf and Kottmarsdorf, and returns to Obercunnersdorf. The loop is about 15 kilometres long, giving you a clear distance to use in your planning. As route details may be updated, check the current route before setting off.

For a village walk, one described option is to travel by train to Löbau and then take bus route 56 towards Neugersdorf. Get off at the Obercunnersdorf Tourist Information stop. Check current connections before travelling, as public transport services may change.

For a family trip, these activities offer different focuses: for a guided village tour, you will need to arrange it in advance and a guide must be available; for the hike, the route’s approximately 15-kilometre length is a concrete planning measure. Consider which of these activities you would like to shape your stay before looking for accommodation in Obercunnersdorf. This way, you can choose your accommodation to suit the experiences that interest you most while you are there.
