A well-marked tourist path will lead you to a nearby little picturesque, originally mining, town of Jiřetín (www.jiretin.cz). There you can find large ruins of a medieval castle called Tolštejn (Tolštejn Land, www.tolstejn.cz). ). Křížová hora (Cross Hill) is a granite hill with a Calvary (the representation of the crucifixion in the open air up the hill) with eleven rococo stone relieves and a chapel on the top.

Rumburk (www.rumburk.cz), which is eight kilometres from Varnsdorf, is also very interesting for its sightseeing. The Loretta Chapel belongs to the treasure of European architecture. Or you can climb the highest mountain of the Lusatian Mountains Luž (793 m above the sea level).
