The Oppacher Ringweg is an easygoing 11.6 km loop around the village of Oppach in the Upper Lusatian Mountains, combining gentle countryside walking with far-reaching views toward the Jizera and Zittau Mountains. It's a great choice for hikers who want scenery, local history, and traditional architecture all in one walk.

The trail circles Oppach, passing the Dammmühlteich (also known as Gondelteich), heritage-protected Umgebindehäuser (a traditional timber-frame house style typical of the region), and the Buschmühle, birthplace of conductor Hermann Zumpe. The highest point of the route is the Galgenberg, rising to about 400 meters, offering views over the Zittau and Jizera Mountains on clear days. The route is marked in #38a169 and winds through the softly rolling terrain of the Oberlausitzer Bergland.

• Easy trail suitable for families and casual walkers - no steep climbs, just moderate rises toward the Galgenberg
• Forest and field paths with some stretches through the village, no exposed sections

• Starting point in Oppach, accessible via the B96 and B98 roads
• The Dammmühlteich pond makes a pleasant rest stop along the way

This loop blends nature with local heritage - walking past the Buschmühle means literally following in the footsteps of a famous conductor's family, and the view from Galgenberg is a fine reward for an easy, unhurried walk.
