Blue Wonder (Loschwitz Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

The only bridge in Dresden that survived World War II and has never been rebuilt or rebuilt. It opened on July 15, 1893. Visually, it looks like a suspension bridge, but it is actually a cantilever bridge.

Fischmann Ponds

Highlight • Lake

The Fischhaus is the oldest restaurant in the Dresdner Heide and was first mentioned in documents in 1573. Elector August had the so-called “Fischhälter” or “Fischmannsteiche” built on the Eisenbornbach to meet the demand for fish at the electoral court.

With spring-like temperatures and pleasant weather, I hiked through the Dresden Heath today. At the beginning of the Plattleite trail, I thought it wasn't as steep as I remembered. After the rather steep steps at the end of the Plattleite, I was warmed up for the hike 😁.
