드레스덴 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The Ludens Ruh rest area commemorates the master baker Ludwig Schneider (1841-1913), nicknamed Lude. He was a connoisseur of the heath and spent much time there. The old shelter was completely renovated years ago and now looks almost stylish. A well-stocked guestbook is still available; the container can be turned, making it easy to access the book and pens.

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 railing of this small round-arch bridge made of natural wood is also adapted to the nature of the heath

Very nice shelter at Königsplatz.

It's just incredibly beautiful here 😊.

Small rest area a bit off the beaten track - easy to miss
