Hiking

Fantastic views wherever you look. Whether to the vineyards, towards the Elbe or to the incredible buildings.

Hiking

The historical circular route begins at the stone bridge (13th century) and leads along the slope to the second castle gate in the gatehouse. From there it goes below the Kornhaus, the gallery building and the Albrechtsburg to the district court. From there you get to the square around the cathedral and palace. The tour is worth it, the view is really great in some places!

Hiking

The (semi-)circular trail runs primarily along the north and east sides of the castle hill and also around the corner at Liebenstein (the round tower of the district court and former bishop's palace). The trail offers wooded sections, close encounters with the walls of Albrechtsburg Castle, and, above all, magnificent views of the Elbe Valley and the old town, changing every few meters.
