Wilsdruff Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

The market place was redesigned in 2000. In the middle of it, a sow is romping around the water with its youngsters. A reference to the river "wild sow" that crosses the town. The houses with their renovated facades shine around the market. The post column shows the important traffic connections with their distances in 1723.

Klipphausen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Right behind the "castle" in which the municipal office of Klipphausen is located, the children can experience a highlight on this section. You can really enjoy the element of water in a water playground ... provided the inlet has not dried up due to the general drought.

Old Wilsdruff Narrow-Gauge Railway Bridge over the Kleine Triebisch

Highlight • Bridge

The Wilsdruffer narrow-gauge railway network from 1909 also extended into the Triebisch Valley. Shortly before Polenz, the "Kleine Triebisch" was crossed twice. First behind the Nieder-Mühle (bridge also available) and at this point, just before the entrance to the Polenz train station. The remains of an old buffer stop can also be seen here, as well as the old "station building". More about the Wilsdruffer narrow-gauge railway network at wilsdruffer-schmalspurnetz.de

Former Polenz Railway Station

Highlight • Historical Site

The simple wooden buildings of the former Polenz station are reminiscent of the narrow-gauge railway from Meissen Triebischtal to Wilsdruff, which opened on October 1, 1909. On May 21, 1966, the last passenger train ran on this route, which was part of the extensive Wilsdruffer narrow-gauge railway network (which was also linked to the Mügelner narrow-gauge railway network).
