In Goesdorf, you start across fields and through the forest down to an old mine. Here, until 1938, antimony, a silvery semi-metal, was extracted. The efforts of the miners can only be guessed from the outside. Afterwards, the route goes back up to the starting point.

The Auto-Pédestre Goesdorf starts in the village center, close to the municipal administration. At first, the route descends into the Sauer valley. Shortly before crossing the Beetebach, you will reach a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the meanders of the Sauer. Afterwards, the route goes uphill back toward Goesdorf. By the way: The name Goesdorf is derived from Gießdorf. The place was a former industrial site based on antimony deposits. The mine located west of the village was first mentioned in 1354 and was operational until 1938.

The 16 carefully marked routes with a total length of over 350 km lead through dense forests and deep valleys, past impressive castles and other sights. Some routes meet the demands of particularly sporty riders, while others are excellent for family outings.
