Leitenweg Panorama and the Pillnitz Vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a very nice view over the vineyards. Especially in the evening sun, you can rest on a bench after a hike and let your gaze wander over the landscape and if you want, you can take part in a wine tasting in the local vineyard.

View of the Weinbergkirche Pillnitz

Highlight • Viewpoint

The small, baroque church in the vineyards is a real eye-catcher and the view of the Elbe valley is simply stunning.

Concerts, readings and exhibitions take place in the Pillnitz vineyard church and, of course, church services are held here. You can also get married in this wonderful ambience. It is open for tours on summer weekends.

This path is simply beautiful. You have to be caught. Nature is allowed to be like this here and is not changed.

View of Saxon Switzerland from the Dresdner Elbe Valley slopes

Highlight • Viewpoint

The top of an old quarry above the village of Oberpoyritz offers a wonderful panoramic view of the Elbe Sandstone and Eastern Ore Mountains. The view extends far across the Upper Elbe Valley with its various ice age formations and the Elbe Valley Slate Mountains (transition between the Eastern Ore Mountains and the Lusatian Massif) from the Panoramahöhe to the Wilisch.
In the background, the crest of the Eastern Ore Mountains stretches from the Tellkoppe in the west via Kahleberg, Geisingberg to the Sattelberg. - Information board on the Graupa nature trail 19
The most striking highlights of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains are beautiful.
The broad ridge of the Großer Winterberg, followed by the landmark of the national park - the Lilienstein - and the individual mesas on the left bank of the Elbe, such as Papststein, Gohrisch, Zschirnsteine, Königstein (with fortress) and Pfaffenstein. Another highlight is certainly the highest peak in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, the Hoher Schneeberg with its wide plateau, which towers over the horizon.

The path looks like a seemingly aimless wandering... but when you're looking for geocaches, you're sometimes sent through strange places.
Very interesting...
The path was very beautiful overall with its many views over the vineyards, the Elbe and the city.
At the Rysselaussicht I could even see the new bridge near Pirna in the distant fog. (Image 11)

What do you do when you have to work on a sunny day and you see other people's tours? You could grumble or just take the work with you on a hike 😆 in this case the kindergarten group. So far they were done, but the children always had fun. Explore the underside of a bridge in Friedrichsgrund or, from …
