End of year tour on your doorstep in a larger group, so to speak.
We meet at the Pillnitz ferry and walk through the castle park up to the vineyard wall, enjoy the views over the city and the surrounding area and follow the Leitenweg to the Tiefen Grund. Here it goes steeply uphill to the column on the Borsberg. …

September 29, 2024,2️⃣0️⃣ - Runde von Hosterwitz um den Borsberg

Because I had only ever known Borsbergstrasse in Dresden, a visit to the 362 m high Borsberg was actually a must and only a matter of time...

It is the highest residential area in Dresden, unfortunately the mountain inn up here is no longer open, so it is better to make sure you have enough provisions for the hike yourself …

Borsberg, haven't been there for a long time. Childhood memories of hiking days from school. With the old 4 over the Blaues Wunder to Pillnitz and over the Friedrichsgrund to the Meixmühle. Then back over the Borsberg.... I didn't know that the young teacher would have explained the triangulation column to us 🤔🤔🤔
It was still nice 🤩🤩🤩 or maybe …

November 9, 2023,Meixmühle – Im Friedrichsgrund Runde von Kleinzschachwitz

Nice hike, little visited, with many viewpoints. However, it shouldn't be wet. Then the path becomes difficult.

July 25, 2022,Weinberge Pillnitz – Im Friedrichsgrund Runde von Kleinzschachwitz

On the hottest day of the week it had to be a lap through the forest.
Nevertheless, 35°C in the shade was already intense.
Beautiful path along vineyards.

Unfortunately, ostrich and broom farms are only open on WE 😐

Borsberg left on the right, because the previous climb was difficult.

Pillnitz Castle with little shade 🥵
