The painter Canaletto (Bernardo Bellotto, 1722 to 1780) probably painted some pictures of Pirna and the Elbe Valley from this hillside. The view is still enchanting today.

One arrives in Niederposta after descending the serpentine stairs from the eastern view of the Burglehn path. Then you are right on the Elbe, you can see steamers going by and, rather unexpectedly, you come across a small wine landscape.

After that we followed the wine trail in Copitz and Posta and up to the Canaletto view. Then a lovely picnic with local wine, fresh winemaker's bread from Wippler and all kinds of …

Today, my sister-in-law and niece went up the Burglehnpfad (Burglehn Trail). From up here, you have a fantastic view of Pirna, including Sonnenstein Castle, St. Mary's Church, and the Elbe River.

On Grundstraße, we also discovered the newly opened "Forellen Garten" (Forellen Garden). A small, well-frequented, quaint garden restaurant. Friendly service and, of course, trout dishes are on offer.
