Dresden Elbland

Hiking
Here, Frederick enjoyed the breathtaking view over Dresden and far into Saxon Switzerland. His sketches later served as the basis for some of his paintings. The name of the hill likely originated from the dialectal pronunciation of "Hiefel," meaning hill.
The viewpoint is situated at approximately 260 meters. From up here, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Elbe Valley and the city of Dresden.

Via Rockauer Straße we get to the Rockauer viewpoint, also known as "Saxony's Hiefel". The term "boot" stands for a small hill, as the viewpoint is only 260 meters above sea level.

Beautiful view of the Elbe valley. When the visibility is good with a view of Meißen, the Eastern Ore Mountains and the Czech Republic. The Rockau viewpoint is also called “Saxony's Hiefel”, whereby the term “Hiefel” in Saxon means small hill.
