View of Dresden from Podemus

Highlight • Viewpoint

Between the upper Zschoner Grund you have a wonderful view over Dresden from the dirt road. In the middle of the path, a bank invites you to linger.

The origins of the Zschonermühle probably date back to the 15th century. In 1570 the miller Gregor Götze told Elector August that the mill had been owned by his late wife's family for over 150 years. The current building structure was rebuilt (probably after a fire) in 1730, as evidenced by the name on the gable of the main house. In 1812 the mill became the property of the Kunze family. Daniel Gottfried Kunze names an inscription plate above the main house as the new owner. The Zschonermühle also developed into a popular excursion restaurant at the end of the 19th century. August Bebel, who spoke to Dresden workers in the bar garden, was one of the mill visitors at the time. Grinding was finally stopped in 1917, but the grinding technology was retained. After the end of the Second World War, the inn was closed. The last mill owner of the Kunze family left a dilapidated mill estate after his death in 1984. However, the first backup work was carried out in the 1980s. After a sale, the gradual reconstruction of the property was carried out in line with the listed monuments. In 1991, a new oversized water wheel with a diameter of 6 meters and an output of six horsepower was installed. The reconstructed grinder was put into operation in 1994. Today the mill is used as a restaurant, museum and for various events (cabaret with theater, cinema and puppet show).

Zschonersteig Metal Walkway

Highlight • Bridge

One of the most dangerous places in the Zschonergrund has disappeared. Grating has now been laid over the rocky section so that the slope water can flow unhindered into the stream and the section can be safely walked on.

Zschonerbach Trail

Highlight • Trail

The hiking trail along the stream through the Zschoner Grund is just great. In the Zschoner Mühle, on half of the ground, you can eat and relax wonderfully.

Bridge and stream in Zschonergrund

Highlight • Bridge

The Zschonergrund nature reserve stretches to the west of Dresden and is a popular area for hikers. It is particularly beautiful here in summer, when the trees provide shade. The Zschonerbach stream flows through the area and you cross it here.
