The city park is located directly behind the former train station of Wilsdruff. In addition to a nice playground, you have a beautiful view of the railway viaduct.

The Wilsdruff Viaduct, also known as the Saubachtal Bridge, built in 1899, is one of the few well-preserved railway bridges on the Wilsdruff narrow-gauge railway network.

From the south, the line from Freital ran westward toward Nossen or northward toward Meißen over the Wilde Sau stream.

Rail service ceased in 1972.

The viaduct is no longer accessible from above.

The former track over the bridge is barricaded on both sides with barriers.

If you want to hike or cycle along the narrow-gauge line, you can still easily incorporate the stone viaduct as a highlight by bypassing it in the following way without losing any of the "railway feeling":

From the Narrow Gauge Museum and the former train station on the east side of the Wilde Sau, walk to the Freiberger Straße / Am Stadtpark intersection.

To the south, there's a beautiful view of the viaduct, and you can cross the Wilde Sau on a small bridge.

Once you reach the Upper Stream on the west side of the Wilde Sau, turn left and pass under the viaduct.

This way, you can get close to the Saubachtal Bridge in a completely legal way.

I think this view of the bridge is more worth seeing than the view of the bridge.

If you then turn right and follow the bushy railway embankment westward, after the Landbergweg, you'll come to the fork in the narrow-gauge lines towards Nossen and Meißen.
