Weisseritz Valley Stone Arch Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Weißeritz Bridge km 3.123
"The four bridges were built in 1881 in massive stone arch bridges. The low train mass enabled a comparatively slim, elegant construction that still meets the requirements of rail operations that have now increased."

Rabenauer Grund Steam Railway and Hiking Trail

Highlight • Trail

For all railway enthusiasts, I recommend taking the steam locomotive from Hainsberg to Dippoldiswalde. The bikes go in the parcel wagon and you can enjoy the snorting and pounding of the old locomotive through the narrow Rabenauer Grund. Once you're at the top, you cycle back down to Hainsberg in the same way. If you want to avoid the stairs (approx. 80m) before Rabenau, you can turn right onto Mühlweg just before the bridge (but it's steep).
Otherwise, the whole route is also suitable for children and families with grandma and grandpa. It's always slightly downhill, and tired or swollen feet can always cool off in the red Weißeritz. Bring a picnic backpack and blanket and in summer bring your swimwear for a dip in the Malter dam - a wonderful swimming lake. There are wonderful beer gardens at the Rabenau and Cossmannsdorf train stations and, with a bit of luck, you can admire the next steam locomotive. For me, this route is a dream in any season...
