Forests, meadows, and beautiful views

The large late Gothic town church of Sayda, with its 62 m high tower, is visible from afar and actually seems too imposing for today's rather quiet little town. But Sayda was once an important trading town on the Bohemian Steig, an old salt road from Halle to Prague, which was protected by its (now no longer existing) castle.

We pass the sports field and follow a small street that offers beautiful views. At the fork, turn right onto the Sayda Painter's Trail, which will accompany us briefly again during the hike.
