Bicycle tour through the European City of Görlitz/Zgorzelec

Start your bicycle tour at the Old Town Bridge (Altstadtbrücke) and ride over the bridge to Zgorzelec/Poland. Now ride along the Neisse River, pass the Dom Kultury and the city bridge. Follow the main street to the STALAG VIII A Memorial. The former prisoner-of-war camp is a memorial and meeting place of German-Polish cooperation today.

The tour continues towards the Polish village Radomierzyce/Radmeritz, where the border crossing point to Germany is located. Follow the signposting of the Oder-Neisse cycle path to Görlitz. On the way back to Görlitz it is possible to have a stopover in Hagenwerder to see a bucket-wheel excavator and the Neisse Viaduct in Görlitz. You will have a great view of the viaduct from the cycle path. The viaduct is brickwork arch bridge which connects Görlitz and Zgorzelec in Poland. 

You will pass the Obermühle where you can have break and relax.  The Landskron Brewery is located a few steps away from the Obermühle. Here it is possible to have a guided tour to learn more about the manufacturing of beer and of course you can taste beer, too. A trip to the brewery is always worthwhile. The bicycle tour ends at the Old Town Bridge (Altstadtbrücke).

Please carry your identity papers with you because it is a cross-border tour. Please be aware of the entry requirements, too.

The tour partly leads along main streets without signposted cycle paths.
