Ilschenteich Pond

Highlight • Lake

This idyllic little lake is located on the Auerweg and is a great place to stop and relax. There are plenty of places to sit where you can enjoy the view or simply have a picnic.

View of Moritzburg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of many beautiful spots where you can have a great view of the castle. This also shows how harmoniously Moritzburg Castle has integrated into the landscape.

A popular place, especially in summer, and located in the middle of the forest. There are plenty of benches for a break.

June 8, 2025,Karraß Rundweg von Moritzburg

A route you'll probably only do once. Hardly any people, beautiful greenery all around, and easy to manage even with a stroller. But it lacks any worthwhile points. The water lily pond and the high rock are beautiful, but there's not much more to it.

April 28, 2024,KARRAS Wanderweg - Runde von Moritzburg

Today we stayed in the nearby region and hiked a loop through the Moritzburg forests on the Karras Trail. We started in Moritzburg (free parking at the train station) and from there we headed towards Dippelsdorf across horse paddocks to Friedewald. The forest around Moritzburg is currently undergoing reconstruction, away from diseased conifers and towards deciduous trees (which are already …

May 18, 2025,2025-#21 - Karras Rundweg

I'd come across the Karras hiking trail a few times on Komoot, so it was quite fitting that today's tour parameters were "Nearby and lots of local greenery." To prepare, you can find out more on the beautifully designed website at karras-rundweg.de, which will give you plenty of exciting information before you even begin your hike. We decided to start …

...so, without shoes, at least as far as possible. I had completely forgotten that the hiking trails around Moritzburg are too well-developed. It's safe to say that Moritzburg isn't barefoot-friendly. The sharp gravel made me quickly put my toe shoes back on. I'm a big fan of uneven ground, but this was just too much for me.
In principle, the …

November 29, 2025,🥾 Karras Rundweg ab Spitzgrundteich

The rain stopped just in time, and a fantastic skate awaited. At Spitzgrund Pond, the fog hung over the ice as we began our walk. The bright green moss against the sea of brown and gray leaves was a beautiful contrast, even on the roofs of the rest huts. And I hadn't seen the sculpture "Two in a Boat" before, …

Today I heard it for the first time this year...the cuckoo...and it accompanied me almost the entire way along the "Karras Circular Trail." Luckily, I had a few coins in my wallet.

I took the S-Bahn to Coswig and joined the circular trail at Spitzgrundteich in Neucoswig, as recommended on the website.

May 2, 2025,Dresden Coswig Karras-Rundweg Moritzburg

The half-tour is highly recommended. The short version is about 9 km. The long version includes Moritzburg Castle. While it's worth seeing, from Auer you walk 4 km on a bike path, and from Moritzburg onwards, the same thing happens on a bridle path. Without any highlights, it's pretty boring. I wouldn't choose this tour as the most beautiful hiking …
