Recreational Activities

Our hotel offers guests refuge from noisy roads and traffic, in a green setting with a wealth of views of the surrounding hills. Well-maintained hiking and biking trails start right next to the hotel. From this vantage point, you have the option to explore the beautiful landscapes in the Oberlausitz Region on foot or on your bike. After your hikes or cycle excursions you can recuperate in this peaceful, relaxing atmosphere or take advantage of the recreational activities offered by our hotel, such as chess and putting.

Thanks to its optimum location, Schirgiswalde is a good place to quickly and easily reach all of the sights and destinations in our region of Oberlausitz.

 

Our reception staff will be pleased to provide further information and tips.

 

We will also be pleased to create a customized program just for you that will make it easy for you to get to know our region, the people and the surrounding areas even better.

 

We recommend that you take a stroll through Schirgiswalde and visit the Local History Museum, which will give you insights into interesting details about the town – for instance that it even enjoyed the status of an independent republic for a few years.

 

Schirgiswalde’s famous landmark, the Catholic Mariä Himmelfahrt Church is definitely a sight worth visiting.

 

Also, make sure you spend some time at the nearby (1.5 km away) all-year-round public thermal pool Körse-Therme, which boasts a salt water pool and a vast sauna landscape for your relaxation.

The beautiful surroundings you will find in the Oberlausitz Region make it particularly inviting to spend your recreational time in nature. Hiking and cycling are very popular activities. The trails are easy to navigate thanks to excellent signage. Among the most visited destinations are the Bieleboh*, the Czorneboh*, Mönchswalder Berg*, the Valtenberg* or the Picho.* Stop at any of these places to take a break and catch your breath.
