From the path at the top next to the cliff edge of the rock towards Seußlitz, you repeatedly have views of the Elbe and Diesbar across the vineyards.

To produce a photo here, you have to go behind a former, now trampled barrier fence and stand directly unprotected at the edge of the cliff. So it's not entirely safe....

The entire bend of the Elbe can be seen from this point if you dare to get close enough to the (unsecured!) precipice.

The first Meissen Elbe bridge was documented in the 13th century, and the Meissen Cathedral, St. Afra Monastery, and a city wall were also built at that time. Outside of this, on the other side of the Triebisch River, lay the Neumarkt (New Market), where a Jewish community had settled, which had been exterminated in 1349. In the 15th century, the bourgeois half-timbered houses gave way to larger stone buildings. During this period, the Meissen Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) was rebuilt, as were the town hall and the Franciscan church. Furthermore, the city wall, which had largely been demolished in the 16th century, was reinforced. In the 16th century, a hospital existed in what is now the old town, which was supplied with water by canals. During the Thirty Years' War, numerous Meissen residents fell victim to the plague, and a fire set by Swedish troops destroyed over half of the old town.
