The tour starts at the Old Town Bridge (Altstadtbrücke) in Görlitz and takes you along the Saxon city route (Sächsische Stadteroute) nach Löbau. On the way to Löbau you will pass three lookout towers. The first one is located right at the beginning of the tour, on the Landeskrone, which is the local mountain of Görlitz. The second lookout tower is called Neuberzdorfer Höhe and it is located at Berzdorf Lake. The structural monument on Löbauer Berg is the third lookout tower and definitely the most beautiful. The König-Friedrich-August-Turm was built in 8854 and is the only preserved cast-iron lookout tower in Europe.
From Löbau continue cycling to the three sources of the Spree River. The first one on the Kottmar rises at a height of 478 metres from the "Blue Stones" (basalt rocks). The water-richest of the three sources - the source of the Spree River in Neugersdorf - is situated at the entrance to the Neugersdorf baths. The last one and at the same time a "Spreeborn" in Ebersbach - is considered the oldest historically documented of the three sources of the Spree River. The octagonal pavilion was built in 1896.
From Görlitz cycle via Promenadenstraße and follow Saxon city route (Sächsische Städteroute). Past the Landeskrone, Pfaffendorf and Friedersdorf continue cycling along the Saxon city route to Schönau-Berzdorf auf dem Eigen. Follow the signs with the red S to Bernstadt auf dem Eigen, Herwigsdorf and Löbau. You have already completed half of the route.
From Löbau follow the cycle path "Oberlausitzer Umgebindehäuser" to Niedercunnersdorf, Obercunnersdorf and to Kottmar, where you will find the first source of the Spree River. Via the cycle path "Spreeradweg" you will reach Neugersdorf and the second source. Finally the most beautiful source, the Spreeborn, is waiting for you in Ebersbach.
