The route starts in Dresden at the Albertbrücke. Those who get up early can experience a wonderful sunrise on the Elbe. The path follows the Elbe riverbank up to Pillnitz. After that, I walked parallel to the Borsberg to see the old oaks at Schöpsdamm. From a hilltop, I could see as far as Dohna and Großsedlitz, which were my next destinations. In Zuschendorf, I admired many blooming hydrangeas before walking through village and forest to reach Lohmgrund. There, you can find sandstone quarries and an old tunnel where art treasures were stored during wartime.
