Spargründe Nature Reserve near Dohna

Highlight • Natural Monument

Hiking in the Spargrund nature reserve near Dohna is possible via a small circular route. Here, too, the windbreak felled a whole lot of larger trees. The Sparbach and a “Yellow Point” circular route meander through the nature reserve.

February 26, 2022,Schloss- und Burgblick – Dohna - Weesenstein - Aussichtspunkt Pilz - NSG Spargründe

A small and rather easy round from the really beautiful Dohna market square via the Planentenweg on the Müglitz, the great Weesenstein Castle and back via Falkenhain and the Pilz vantage point with a wonderful view of Saxon Switzerland or Dohna Castle and Marienkirche. Finally, a piece through the savings grounds and over the old castle in Dohna.

Today we slept in but still wanted to get a hike in before cake time for grandma‘s birthday. I had wanted to head deeper into Saxon Switzerland but there was no time for that, so we opted for this quick loop to Schloss Weesenstein.
