Hiking

The "High Bridges" lie in the headwaters of the Ilke. It is the name for a forest site where old hunting trails between Pillnitz and Lohmen cross the notch valleys …

Hiking

In 1789 ten "High Bridges" were built on the Upper Hunting Trail by the architect Johann Daniel Schade, on behalf of the Elector Friedrich August III. The high bridges were not only intended to be functional buildings, but were also erected in the early romantic period according to landscape architecture. In the middle of the bridge there is a stone that depicts a crown on one side, on the inside of the stone is the bridge number as a Roman number. Bridge 10 is the most impressive of the high bridges as a viaduct (see photo).
