Backofenfelsen Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The oven rock can be described as one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the nature reserve "Weißeritztalhang". As an extension of the Brüderweg, this highlight can be built into a hike from Tharandt to Freital. It's really worth it, I promise. 😊

Rote Weißeritz

Highlight • River

Here, just before the confluence, you have another view of the calmly flowing Rote Weißeritz. However, do not forget that the inconspicuous river can also lead to powerful flood ... (so 2002 - Jahrhunderthochwassser hier👍🏻)

Freital-Coßmannsdorf Station

Highlight • Rest Area

Second station of the Weißeritztalbahn (Germany's oldest public narrow-gauge railway) between Freital Hainsberg and Kurort Kipsdorf.

The Freital-Coßmannsdorf stop with the waiting shelter was built around 1930 and, like the entire Weißeritztalbahn, is a listed building.
