Hiking

On the wildcat nature trail in Heyda (Lossa Valley), the circular route takes you past the kitchen pond and the old manor. The path includes seven exciting, interactive stations for young and old. You can access entertaining audio files about the wild forest dweller via QR codes. The proximity to the first wildcat corridor in Saxony makes the nature trail so special.

Attention: Please be considerate of the many animals and plants by staying on the paths and taking your trash home with you.

The chances of you encountering a real wild cat on your hike are very small. But if it does happen, please be careful. Wild cats are sensitive to disturbance. Be sure to leave gray tabby kittens in the forest! We give you tips on how to distinguish wild cats from domestic cats and what to do in an emergency: www.bund.net/vorsicht-wildkatze

Wildcat Trail Information Point 5 and Resting Bench by the Lossa

Highlight • Rest Area

When migrating, the European wildcat often orients itself on structures in the landscape such as watercourses. She is by no means afraid of water!

That's why BUND Sachsen has renatured the Lossa in collaboration with the community of Lossatal, the agricultural company Carlowitz KG and other land owners. You can find more information here:
