Good to know

"Take only memories with you, leave nothing but tire tracks."

According to the (slightly modified) quote from Chief Seattle we also want to point out tracks that we should urgently pay attention to.

However, these are not so much tire tracks, but rather the tracks of insects, especially the bark beetle.
You can find out everything you need to know about the small beetle, its tracks and the Upper Lusatian forests at :

Insider tip: Graveling in the border triangle

Exciting reports on the cycling experience!

In May 2021, three fearless men explored the regions around the border triangle and beyond. The journey started in the Lenten cloth town of Zittau and led through parts of the Jizera Mountains in the Czech Republic to the Polish town of Löwenberg, where the Löwenberg Switzerland can be found in the southern part of the town. The tour was a real gravel adventure and passed through remote forests and rugged country lanes.
