The circular route leads from the entrance at the hollow path behind the Burglehnhaus below the Mittleres Torhaus, the Steinerne Brücke, the Kornhaus, the Albrechtsburg and the Cathedral to the former Bishop's Palace with the Amtsstufen. It runs halfway up the mountain at the foot of the imposing building walls and above the castle park. Several signs inform visitors about the history of the castle ensemble, the park and the surrounding area. From the circular route, you have wonderful views of Meißen, the Elbe river and the Elbe wine villages. At various points, stairs lead up to the castle hill.

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

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!
