A fascinating hike through hidden vineyards, historical treasures and breathtaking views of the picturesque landscape of Radebeul.
On your way, discover old vineyard walls and terraces hidden behind dense trees, which bear witness to former viticulture. After the phylloxera catastrophe in the late 19th century, these vineyards were abandoned and nature has reclaimed its habitat. Various experience stations along the trail describe this "vineyard in transition".
From the Albrechtshöhe, you have a fascinating view over the Dresden Heath, the Dresden TV tower and Saxon Switzerland. At the traditional "Graue Presse" estate, a display board commemorates the historic wine press, which can now be viewed in the Hoflößnitz Wine Museum.

From the lower Hohlweg, high up on the Hermannsberg, you can see the Steinerne Schnecke, an old stone construction from the 17th century, which used to serve as a thief and fire station and is now the landmark of theDrei Herren" winerywinery. From here, the trail leads through Oberlößnitz, where Radebeul shows its most beautiful side. Historic winegrowers' houses and sights line the route through the picturesque vineyard landscape.
