    Hiking

    In Saxony in 1820 an ordinance was issued according to which wooden signposts were to be erected at all "crossroads and crossroads". However, due to its longer durability, numerous signposts were made of stone. These road pillars had their official function until around 1930. In the current district, there are still around 290 of these small traffic-historical monuments. Such an accumulation is unique in Germany.

    Hiking

    The unique feature of this column lies in its distance from Pirna. There used to be a so-called "beer ban zone." This meant that all taverns, and even some private individuals, within this zone were obligated to purchase their beer exclusively from the town. Since the people of Bwalden wanted to brew, sell, and drink their own beer, Pirna was simply declared a bit further away. Well, these mountain folk have always been clever 😉...hence the name...the beer column.
