This route is a classic forest circuit for anyone looking for a quiet running experience on natural paths. Starting from the Albertstadt district, you dive straight into the dense network of paths in the Dresden Heath. The route uses the historic, often star-shaped forest paths that run through the largest forest area in Dresden.
The route initially runs counter-clockwise on smaller paths such as the Blümpenweg and the Semmelweg in a south-easterly direction. The southern part of the route follows the "Diebsteig", a straight path that runs above the large Dresden cemeteries (Nordfriedhof, Garnisonfriedhof). For the way back, the route turns onto the "Alter Kannenhenkel", one of the main paths in this area, which leads directly north again towards Albertstadt. The route is characterized by its continuous forest character and a predominantly flat profile on easy paths.
