Description
The route starts in Friedhofstraße and takes you along the Ölberggarten, which is an addition to the Holy Sepulchre to represent the conditions of the landscape in Jerusalem symbolically. Along the St. Nicholas' Cemetery - the oldest burial place in Görlitz and today a historicial monument.

The way continues past the Hoffnungskirche. The Hoffnungskirche is an old church in the Königshufen development area. It is not the remains of a centre of a village, but the village church from Deutsch-Ossig. This church had to make way for lignite mining.

Run along the fields in the direction of Klingewalde to reach the historic old town along Rothenburger Straße, where it is possible to see the towers of St. Peter's Church from the bridge. You will get back to the starting point in Friedhofstraße through the alleys of the Nikolaivorstadt.
