    Until the 19th century, the Plauensche Grund was an almost untouched, wild, romantic valley with fascinating geological formations and diverse flora and fauna. The romantics Friedrich, Heinrich von Kleist and Hans Christian Andersen were enthusiastic about this natural idyll that stretches through the town of Freital to Tharandt. In Friedrich's works, the Plauensche Grund appears in a gouache that can be seen in the Dresden City Museum and in etchings that the Kupferstich-Kabinett Dresden shows. In the idyllic small town of Tharandt you will find castle romance, wonderful hiking trails and one of the most beautiful forest botanical gardens.

      The railway line and road were built through the Plauenscher Grund. The road has now been relocated into a tunnel, so it has become quieter again.

        The Plauensche Grund offers all kinds of opportunities for hikers, joggers and mountain bikers. The Bienertgarten invites you to take a walk through nature close to the city and offers shady spots in the summer. You can also splash around in the Weißeritz.
