Wesenitz Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Currently closed according to the signs. However, the barrier that has been moved aside doesn't seem insurmountable to me. Nevertheless, you should use the signposted detour.

Highlight • Bridge

The railway traffic over the almost 30 meter high and 150 meter long Wesenitz Viaduct has been closed since 2007, but you can drive over it with a draisine (provider Sachsendraisine).

A sunny morning 🌞 greeted me as I looked out of my 🪟 hotel room window, and this weather made me look forward to the tour planned for today into the Wesenitz valley.

The car had 🆓 a break, because this time I walked to Stolpen train station and took the 🚂 two stops to Dürrröhrsdorf.

Smaller hike in a larger group on a less frequently used section of the Wesenitz river. We were greeted and bid farewell by the cattle of Dürrröhrsdorf. 😉

With this dreary weather, getting going is particularly difficult, so we set off noticeably late for our obligatory weekend hike.

We start in Dittersbach and follow the trail marker 🔵 first through the village and later leisurely along the Wesenitz River to Helmsdorf. The castle... well, it's there. A bit of a shame, we think.
