The bakery & cafe with a beer garden at Kuchenhäusel in Obergurig looks very inviting, unfortunately it was not open when we visited on a Saturday. Therefore, we could not enjoy the house specialty: baked pork shoulder with sauerkraut and dumplings or fresh bread.

The monument is located very close to the popular Mönchswalder Bergbaude. It is a monument that includes a bench, with an inscription inviting visitors to treat the bench with care.

The viaduct is popularly called "Siebenbrücken". It was commissioned in 1877 with the opening of the Bautzen - Wilthen - Neustadt/Sachsen section. After its destruction in April 1945, reconstruction took place 10 years later.

Narrow, mostly tarred path along the Spree, which is dammed here. Occasional tree root bumps. And many opportunities to take a break on the bank.
