Cycle path very nice. Ascent in Niederstriegis a bit complicated. But beware, it's not a cycle path everywhere, there are always sections in between where cars are allowed.

A relatively unspectacular bike path; the river is only visible near Roßwein. But at least it's car-free.

Beautiful vantage point. Beautiful view as far as Nossen and further ahead to Collmberg.

The imposing castle in Nossen is visible from afar. Information: This Renaissance building was constructed on the site of an older medieval castle. The impressive castle complex sits on a rocky promontory overlooking the Freiberger Mulde valley. It acquired its final form with the completion of the gate tower (1682) and the construction of the stone castle bridge (1714).

The impressive Nossen Castle complex rises on a rocky outcrop above the Freiberger Mulde. Immerse yourself in the mysterious history of the impressive Renaissance castle. The drawing “View of Nossen in Saxony with Castle and Bridge” (Kupferstichkabinett Berlin) shows you Caspar David Friedrich’s diverse artistic interests and his enthusiasm for the region.

When a major fire raged in the city in 1730, the town hall at the time also fell victim to it. In 1731 the roof structure was lifted and the town hall was used again. In 1744 and 1745 the building was given a small tower (roof turret) and finally received a clock with a justice and market bell. After the town hall clock was replaced with another one in 1758, the town hall received its final form as the forerunner of today's house.
