ドレスデンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Beautiful path along the Weißeritz river

In an inventory from 1741, the "water house above the Plauen Court Mill" is described as a building with wooden walls filled with bricks and covered with the same material. There was a square, brick-built water catchment in the "entrance" and next to it a "guardroom" with "a green tiled stove."

With a beautiful view of the Plauen Valley

There's also a nice bench here for resting.

From Richard Wagner in Graupa to Carl Maria von Weber in Pillnitz, it's exactly six kilometers. At least as a hiking trail. Because, to my knowledge, the two never knew each other personally. And that's despite living only that far apart. However, at different times in their lives. One – Carl Maria von Weber – lived at Hosterwitz Castle near Dresden from 1818 to 1824, the other – Richard Wagner – resided more than twenty years later in the building in Graupa now known as the Lohengrin House. A hiking trail, the Leitenweg, connects the two and thus also follows a section of the Saxon Wine Trail or the Wine Educational Trail.

It's simply breathtakingly beautiful here 😊.

Born in Dresden on February 4, 1821, the youngest son of Friedrich August Hammer (1785-1855), accounting secretary at the Royal Ministry of the Interior, Guido Hammer showed an early aptitude for hunting. As a schoolboy, he rushed to the Dresden Heath to eavesdrop on the lively animal life in the quiet forest solitude and to practice trapping as a youth. (Read about it in "Die Gartenlaube," vol. 1898, issue 4.) Guido Hammer's wish to learn the hunting trade was not fulfilled. His father, also on the advice of his eldest son, the writer Julius Hammer (1810-1862), recommended that he, Guido Hammer, become a painter because of his talent for drawing and, after attending high school, apply for art studies.

The former Felsenkeller brewery stands in the Plauenscher Grund region, beside the beautiful Weißeritz River. It has been a listed industrial monument since 1991. The brewery grounds are used by various companies. The Brauerei zum Felsenkeller AG stock company was founded in 1856. Behind the brewery is a 60-meter-long storage tunnel in the rock. It was used as an ice cellar for beer storage. There's something sinister going on in this ice cellar, as it's home to the Ice Worm. https://www.kennst-du-dresden.de/blog/die-legende-vom-eiswurm-10393
