To the Haarweiden Reservoir — dream trails on Dresden Heath

70m

Hiking

This appealing circular hike takes you directly to the Dresdner Heide, which is criss-crossed by narrow paths and small streams. You hike mainly through slightly hilly mixed forest with some sandy slopes and occasionally through notches and reasons that were caused by the permanent impact of flowing water.

October 4, 2024,Zum Haarweidenstausee – Traumpfade Dresdner Heide

Today I did our quarterly Friday afternoon round with Nils Hentschel. We went to the Dresdner Heide to the Haarweidenstausee and then on to the Heidemühle and back again. The starting point and destination was Dresden-Bühlau, Ullersdorfer Platz. It was a very nice tour, the weather held up too, no rain, it only started to sneeze almost at the destination. …

New Year's hike in spring-like temperatures. Probably the most beautiful section of the route is along the Prießnitz. Otherwise, only after the Heidemühle are some beautiful forest paths parallel to the otherwise predominantly wide forest highways.

Comfortable round through the Dresdner Heide. Starting and ending point is Bühlau. It goes past the Haarweidenstausee where some benches invite you to rest. We continue through the Prießnitz valley and soon reach the Heidemühle. Then it's back to Bühlau.

Today was another outing with our girls' group and this time our men were allowed to come along too. This tour of the Dresdner Heide working group was drawn from the lottery and so I was in charge today. However, the tour is very grateful for the branches and routes and so I had plenty of time to chat.

November 24, 2024,Dresdner Heide: Haarweidenstausee und Prießnitztalweg

A round trip through the Dresden Heath, the weather was still quite good for the end of November, mostly wide (cycle) paths, no inclines. And even - I wouldn't have thought it at this time of year - 2 snack bars open, halfway along the route.

February 16, 2025,Im Winter durch die Dresdner Heide ⛸️🛷

It was a very slippery affair but it went very well. At one point the clock showed 5.7 km/h. The last 1.5 km were really slippery and I was a bit out of breath.👍

This fine round trip by the Dresden Heath working group led us under shady trees in summer temperatures. The start was as usual at the Heidemühle, from where the Dreibörnerweg quickly led us to the Zweienweg. A small detour to the cut cross-six was obligatory. The brisk walk slowly turned into a stroll, as the first raspberries beckoned us along …
