Oybin is always worth a visit. The village, enclosed by mountains, has its own special charm. The narrow-gauge railway, Mount Oybin with its castle ruins, the small mountain spa, and the many small restaurants are highly recommended.

I would particularly recommend Kleine Burg. This cozy restaurant near the train station is located in the oldest building in Oybin. Those who like brawn with fried potatoes will get their money's worth 100 percent here. Furthermore, Oybin is always an excellent starting point for beautiful tours in and around the Zittau Mountains.

Forest Gate Sentinel

Highlight • Natural Monument

The forest gate keeper is a 30 meter high sandstone tower. If you want to climb it, you have to overcome 80 percent vertical wall.

Kelchstein (Chalice Rock)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Great sandstone formation in the Zittau Mountains. It is one of the most difficult climbing rocks in the mountains. If you are lucky enough to see mountaineers trying to conquer the rock, you should take the time to watch them. It is very interesting what kind of athletic performance is necessary.
