Kössern Hunting Lodge
Highlight • Castle
The high mansard roof greets visitors from afar. The tightly structured, richly painted facade is in perfect harmony. The foyer on the ground floor was supported on both sides by four strong pillars to allow a view of the Great Garden. An extensive staircase, preserved in its original form, leads to the upper floor with a surprisingly stately ballroom, which is crowned with lavish stucco and a large ceiling painting.
Today, guided tours in historical costumes, concerts, events and rooms for weddings are offered. In addition, a tourist information point (outpost of the Grimma city information office) awaits you in the Kössern hunting lodge, which is located directly on the Mulde cycle path.

Rabenstein Viewpoint over the Mulde River
Highlight • Viewpoint
A suspension bridge leads to Grimma via the hollow. If you follow the hiking trail from Rabenstein towards Höfgen, you will pass a historic ship mill and you can have the ferryman put you back across the trough in Höfgen and reach the Nimbschen monastery (known by Katharina von Bora, the Lutherin).

Grimma Suspension Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
After a flood destroyed the first wooden barrel bridge, the suspension bridge was built in 1924.
In 1945 it was blown up and restored in 1949. During the devastating flood in 2002, the structure was severely damaged.
Today it has been completely restored and delights visitors as Saxony's longest rope suspension bridge with a span of 80 metres.
