Visit sacred sites off the pilgrimage route or skip a stage...
... the service of the ZVON (Zweckverband Verkehrsverbund Oberlausitz Niederschlesien) helps with this.
The ZVON area lies between Bischofswerda, Zittau, Görlitz and Weißwasser and is served by trains operated by the railroad companies Die Länderbahn GmbH (TRILEX) and Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn GmbH (ODEG). The bus service is supplemented by eight transport companies that operate city and regional services.
In the ZVON, a uniform network tariff applies, so that only one ticket is required for the journey, regardless of whether train, streetcar or bus is used.
