    Hiking

    Wooded hill. Thorun Castle probably stood here, which was disputed around 1200 and which was demolished in 1206 after a mediator's verdict (with Dresden being mentioned for the first time). The legend of the treasure in Burgwartsberg also plays here, which lets a blue light shine from the mountain on Midsummer Night and is guarded by the castle warden's daughter Edelgard, transformed into a toad. Every 300 years she shows herself in human form and wants to be redeemed. With a kiss, of course.
