After a short stretch on the road, you will reach the... **4.5 km View tower Moldaublick.** Here you will be rewarded with an impressive view over the border to the Czech Republic as far as the Vltava reservoir. Cycle back about 3/4 km and turn left onto the sandy forest road to Grünwald and Aigen-Schlägl. The route continues on a level path to the plateau of... **8.5 km Grünwald.** The tarmac road begins at the end of the forest. Pass the car park and leave the settlement. Turn left at the sports centre after the end-of-town sign. The route leads downhill through the forest to... **11.6 km Oberhaag** (you can also start here). Immediately at the Schwedenschanzen, turn left onto the country road that leads from Aigen-Schlägl to the border at Diendorf/Kyselov. Take the long, straight road towards the border. At the same time, the provincial cycle path R27 runs parallel to Schöneben. **Don't miss** the turn-off to the left to the Schwemmkanal where you will reach the... **14 km Schrollenbach lock** shortly afterwards. This lock was superbly reconstructed in 1989 to mark the 200th anniversary of the alluvial canal. There are three more locks on the following 8 km section of the canal to Sonnenwald (sanded forest road): Landsknechtin with the sculpture "The 7 Ravens", as well as the Wessenbach and Kesselbach locks. **21.3 km** On arrival in the idyllic **Sonnenwald**, the "Blauer Hirsch" snack station offers a rest and refreshment stop. Only a few people still live in this forest clearing in a few remaining houses. In its heyday, there were 16 buildings in the village. A wealth of timber, a glassworks and the Schwarzenberg alluvial canal attracted many workers from the surrounding area. The glassworks, of which nothing remains today but a few artefacts in the Ulrichsberg Glass Museum, was shut down in 1900. Cycle on along the tarmac road. Follow the signs uphill. Leave the turn-off to the Schöneben border crossing on the right and cycle uphill to the... **24.5 km Schöneben plateau.** Around 140 years ago, a settlement was established here on the salt road to Bohemia, which was mentioned in documents as early as 1588. Today there is a beautiful recreational area here, which is popular in summer (high ropes course) and winter (Nordic centre). You will now return to the starting point at the Schöneben car park.
