Friedrichsgrund Ten Bridges Trail

Very romantic reason and a little challenge to stay on the right track in the fall of autumn leaves.

The Friedrichsgrund, also called Meixgrund, is a side valley on the right bank of the Elbe that extends between the Dresden district of Pillnitz and the Meixmühle. The bottom is traversed by the Friedrichsgrundbach, also known as the Meixbach, for about 1.5 kilometers, which created the Kerbtal, which is about 80 meters deep. The name comes from the Elector Friedrich August III. von Sachsen, who had a footpath built here around 1780 with numerous stone bridges and other smaller staffage structures, some of which have been preserved to this day.

Beautiful path in an idyllic setting over many small bridges. At the end, the Meix mill is a great rest stop.
