Middle Pond

Highlight • Lake

It is worth stopping for a photo. Presumably a beautiful panorama in all seasons. The street has potholes here and there and is accordingly heavily frequented by the gastronomy.

January 31, 2026,Zu Besuch in Aschenbrödels Gefilden
Today we followed in Cinderella's footsteps. A magnificent landscape blanketed in snow is always worth a hike for us. The paths were quite slippery in places, the ponds frozen over, and at Marcolini's, the warming fire in the fire bowl was lit and inviting. A mystical atmosphere at dusk by the large pond, and the little owl Rosalie called for …

With three sickly men in the house, all I could do was flee. So I threw all my tech toys in my backpack for a hike and headed to my favorite spot. As a starting point, I went to the forest car park at the Churfürstliche Waldschänke and as a stint I wanted to walk the Königsweg.

...at Easter a detour to Moritzburg and the surrounding pond landscape - that's always possible! But you should possibly have a few snacks, i.e. finger food and drinks, in your luggage because the local gastronomic facilities could easily be "overcrowded". 😎

Beautiful hiking trail through the forests around Moritzburg Castle, past many lakes. When everything is green and blooming, it is certainly even more beautiful.
And once you are there: a visit to the castle is particularly recommended for big fans of the Cinderella film adaptation (preferably during the week).

December 26, 2024,Königlich unterwegs😉🤴👸auf dem Königsweg in Moritzburg
The visitors have left the house, so we decided to go for a little walk. It was going to be the Königsweg in Moritzburg. I could already see us among the crowds of people 🙈, but my husband said we just had to move countercyclically and it would be fine. He was right, the first people were already on their …

Today, in mild temperatures, we went to Moritzburg. Lots of people had the same idea. There were almost no parking spaces left, and it was like the heyday of the Cinderella exhibition.

So, we quickly pushed our way through the throngs of walkers and into the woods on the Königsweg (King's Path). There, it was quiet again, with only a …
