Loop hike from Radeberg — dream trails on Dresden Heath

An interesting round through the rather little traveled north-east of the Dresdner Heide, peppered with many beautiful natural jewels. A long but very rewarding tour.

And this is how you get there: If you are arriving by car, there is a park-and-ride car park at Radeberg train station. From the city you can reach the train station with the S-Bahn line 8.

Then you can start: You walk through the untouched landscape and first reach the Hofewiese, a spacious meadow in the middle of the Dresden Heath. Their name comes from the fact that the hay on many of these meadows was formerly used to feed wild animals in the electoral hunting grounds.

Passing the Färberbornteich and the Ochsenkopf forest hut, which is ideal for a break in the middle of lush nature, you will soon reach the Heidemühle, a restaurant with a beer garden and a nice stop for tired hikers. As of June 2022 open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Finally, you pass the idyllic Haarweidenstausee before you return to the starting point sooner or later. Have fun on this tour!
