    Hiking

    Since 1903 there has been the Drachenburg on the Meixmühle site in Friedrichsgrund, which commemorates the dragon and its defeat. The legend of the dragon can be read on the Meixmühle building. I'm quite sure that the current ruins of the Drachenburg will once again become a wonderfully restored place. Where else can you defeat dragons. :-)

    On a southern hill above the Friedrichsgrund, an artificial ruin in the form of a ruined Gothic knight's castle was built in 1785, most likely under the direction of Johann Daniel Schade. Their interior is used u. a. as a dining room for entertaining courtly society, especially at the end of the electoral walks.
    A similar structure in the form of an artificial grotto known as the “Hermitage” was built ten years earlier on the nearby Borsberg
    Partly forfeited, entry prohibited.

    In 1903, the Drachenburg was built, which is to remember the legend of the dragon Meix.
