Romantic Trail to Schloss Weesenstein

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful connection between Burkhardswalde and Weesenstein. Past the oldest building in Bwalde, the moated castle with a small pond nearby. The path then leads us past old apple trees and comfortably down into the Müglitz valley.

View of Weesenstein Castle Gardens

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the most beautiful / picturesque castles far and wide! Harmoniously built, impressively located on a rock spur above the valley. The park with a very Italian flair.

March 17, 2024,Panoramablick zum Schloss – Schloss Weesenstein Runde von Burkhardswalde-Maxen zum 1:1 Nachwandern nicht geeignet 😄

Not suitable for 1:1 hiking! An annoying road at the beginning, but at the end it's more of an exercise in penetration 😄

Today we did another nice conditioning run, which even offers several fantastic views of Weesenstein Castle.
The village center has remained fairly clear since the flood wave in 2002. An information board on the bridge reminds us of this.
Long time no see... a still usable laundry roll. Man, that brings back childhood memories 🙆
On the way back you …
