Path along the Prießnitz

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The heath offers countless hiking opportunities. One of the most beautiful options, however, is along the Prießnitz River. There's a great hut for resting and also places to stop for refreshments.

Steingründchenweg (Seven Bridges Trail)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very nice trail over roots and bridges going up and down. It is better to keep dogs on a leash, as a very popular MTB trail also runs here.

November 2, 2024, Rundwanderung durch die nördliche Heide – Traumpfade Dresdner Heide

A stroller-friendly route with few people. Just a stroll through nature. The Hofewiese is also a place to stop for a break along the route.

This time, after a long time, I did a circular hike through the northern heath on beautiful dream paths. I wanted to do this tour a while ago, but unfortunately didn't get around to it, so today I tackled this activity. A beautiful tour on varied paths - some I didn't know - some were very muddy, but you could still walk them. The weather was dry but cloudy. I was very enthusiastic about this tour. I will visit the Dresden Heath every now and then at this time of year. 🤠🥾🍀

Perfect hiking weather – pleasant temperatures and sunshine 🌞. And then the radio ad 📻 – so off we went to the Dresden Heath. We hiked through sand and mud, interspersed with beautiful forest and meadow paths through a lovely, peaceful, and at times secluded area 🥰. Suddenly, there were more people around, so our destination couldn't be far – the Hofewiese meadow for the Christmas market in the heath 🎄. The lovingly decorated area was teeming with people. After a quick snack, we left the festive courtyard and, after a brief stretch, disappeared back into the tranquility of the forest.
