The Oberlausitzer Bergweg is a trail that captures the gentle charm of the Upper Lusatian Mountains and the Zittau Mountains, stringing together summits, viewpoints and small towns into one continuous story of the region. This 108.5 km section runs from Zittau to Valtenberg and offers a great way to explore the border landscapes of Saxony without technical mountain terrain.

The route begins in Zittau, a town sitting right at the tri-border point of Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic, and leads through Oybin with its striking Hochwald summit (749 m), Waltersdorf, Eibau, Kottmar (583 m), Bieleboh (499 m), Sohland an der Spree, and finally up to Valtenberg (587 m), the highest point of the Upper Lusatian Mountains. Along the way hikers pass scenic rock formations such as the Nonnenfelsen near Jonsdorf, quiet valleys like the Lausurtal, and the historic Dreiländereck marker on the Neisse River. The trail is marked with a horizontal blue stripe on a white background.

• Moderate difficulty - no technical climbing skills required, but the repeated ascents to hilltops call for a reasonable level of fitness.
• Varied terrain: forest paths, rocky sections in the Zittau Mountains, open ridgelines with panoramic views, and gentler stretches through villages and valleys.

• The route is divided into 6 stages ranging from about 12 to 28 km, making it easy to plan a multi-day hike.
• Huts and refreshment stops can be found along the way, including the Prinz-Friedrich-August-Baude and the Waldbühne Jonsdorf.
• Towns along the route such as Zittau, Sohland and Oybin have train and bus connections, making it easy to access individual stages.

Fun fact: between Valtenberg and Zittau, the trail overlaps with the eastern section of the famous long-distance Zittau–Wernigerode path, linking it to one of Germany's historic long-distance hiking routes.
