St George's Church, Somsdorf

Highlight • Religious Site

Somsdorf is located in the extreme southwest of the Freital city area on a plateau between the valleys of Roter Weißeritz and Wilder Weißeritz. The village is mainly located on an agriculturally used plateau surrounded by the wooded slopes of the Weißeritztal. To the east of the village is the Kerbtal “Rabenauer Grund”, south of the Somsdorfer Höhe (371 m). Source: Wikipedia

The Georgenkirche, which got its present form in 1711, is an eye-catcher. A highlight of the interior is the recently restored baroque altar by the Dresden master Benjamin Thomae.

Weißeritztalhänge Forest Trail

Highlight • Trail

Well, for the Alps, the tree line is pretty high up and there are no rugged mountains. To be precise, the vegetation changes from high collin to submontane. There are still a few meters of altitude to go before you reach the alpine levels.

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Tip: In August, delicious apples, pears and plums are available free of charge on Mother Nature's avenue. Of course you have to harvest (or pick it up from the ground) yourself. The small round apple-like things are said to be >wild pears< 🤓
