This interesting looking viewpoint is located in the middle of the forest. From here you can have a wonderful view over the Stechgrund. But you can also just linger a while and take in the atmosphere of the forest.

After yesterday's museum and exhibition, I was drawn to nature!
Snow in the Dresden Heath and azure blue sky, beautiful!
Then afterwards there was supposed to be an exhibition, the door was closed 😠, I switched to a museum (luckily I looked online first) Closed on Wednesday 😡
Now I'm sitting in the cinema 🎦 😅
