What a beautiful landscape!

A scenic section of the Elbe Cycle Route. Largely paved, with only small sections of cobblestones.

really very interestingly designed

There are many beautiful paths to discover here

In 1002, the newly elected German king, Henry II, appointed Gunzelin as the new margrave of Meissen, who also acquired possession of the castle. In 1003, Bolesław II of Bohemia, as had apparently been agreed upon, demanded that Gunzelin surrender Meissen Castle, which he refused. The background to these events was that the Ekkehardines were closely related to the Polish Piast dynasty. Until then, they had primarily opposed the Bohemian Přemyslid duchy, which was allied with Bavaria. After the murder of Ekkehard, who had applied for the German crown, there were fears that a noble family other than the Ekkehardines might be appointed margrave. With the conquest of Lusatia and Meissen, Bolesław had created a fait accompli. Henry II had no choice but to appoint Gunzelin, a member of the Ekkehardine family. With his actions, Gunzelin ignored the claims of his nephew Hermann, who, together with his mother Swanehilde

The Polish Piast Duke Boleslaw Chrobry (the Brave, son of Miezko) took the death of Emperor Otto III and the assassination of Margrave Ekkehard I of Meissen in 1002 as an opportunity to conquer the March of Meissen east of the Elbe. While he was able to occupy the land relatively easily because he was in harmony with the Slavic population, the German garrison defended the castle. However, it was ultimately captured with the help of Gunzelin, Ekkehard's brother. The castle garrison was granted free withdrawal.[10]
