Bertsdorf-Hornitz

Built around the rural settlements of Bertsdorf and Hörnitz, Bertsdorf-Hörnitz grew into today’s municipality on the northern edge of the Zittau Mountains. It lies in Upper Lusatia, close to the Czech and Polish borders, where wooded hills rise from a gentler settled plain. Bertsdorf station is the branching point of the Zittau narrow-gauge railway, with heritage steam trains continuing towards Oybin and Jonsdorf. Traditional Umgebinde houses, an Upper Lusatian building form combining a log room with an external timber frame, remain a defining feature of local streetscapes.
