Golden autumn day?! Then head to the vineyards near Radebeul. It's worth it! Anyone who enjoys the vibrant colors of autumn and isn't afraid to climb a few steps will be rewarded with magnificent views and a blaze of color.

The first Meissen Elbe bridge was documented in the 13th century, and the Meissen Cathedral, St. Afra Monastery, and a city wall were also built at that time. Outside of this, on the other side of the Triebisch River, lay the Neumarkt (New Market), where a Jewish community had settled, which had been exterminated in 1349. In the 15th century, the bourgeois half-timbered houses gave way to larger stone buildings. During this period, the Meissen Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) was rebuilt, as were the town hall and the Franciscan church. Furthermore, the city wall, which had largely been demolished in the 16th century, was reinforced. In the 16th century, a hospital existed in what is now the old town, which was supplied with water by canals. During the Thirty Years' War, numerous Meissen residents fell victim to the plague, and a fire set by Swedish troops destroyed over half of the old town.

The Old Town is the historic city center of Meissen. Because of the bishops and margraves of Meissen who once resided there, it is of outstanding cultural importance for Saxony. In the 10th century, only the fortifications existed on the site of today's Albrechtsburg Castle. A forded outpost toward the Elbe River, it was protected by an outer bailey known as a moated castle. Immediately south of both, a trading center developed at what is now Theaterplatz. A little further west, on the Afraberg, knights and clergy settled on Freiheit Street. Between 1150 and 1200, the built-up area expanded to include the remaining area between Theaterplatz, Albrechtsburg Castle, Afraberg, and Triebisch. The market and the streets leading from it emerged here; the street network laid out at that time has remained essentially unchanged to this day. Numerous artisans settled here.

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

On the left side it goes faster 😜

Ostrich products included, nice idea...
