Information:
Towpath between Loschwitz and Pillnitz, approximately 6.2 km long. It was paved with sandstone blocks around 1870. It commemorates the exceptional contributions of men to Elbe River navigation. Until about the mid-19th century, when sailing was not possible, towmen pulled barges upstream, often under life-threatening conditions, using ropes.
