August 7, 2022,sächsischer Weinwanderweg Etappe 6

The final stage of the Saxon Wine Trail from Meissen to Seußlitz Monastery.
The cat steps behind Meissen are many and the ascent is steep, but once at the top, one Albrechtsburg photo stop follows the next. Everywhere grape vines, fruit trees and rose bushes that want to push themselves into the foreground of a picture. A long stretch follows …

Today, I hiked the final leg of the Saxon Wine Trail from Meissen to Diesbar - Seusslitz with the Tuesday group. It was a lovely hike. Even though I've been here a few times recently, it's still always interesting to walk through this area with its vineyards. We stopped at Ulrich's winery near the end of the tour. Then I …

Today I jumped out of my comfort zone. I'm more the type of circular hike - but today it was the last stage of the Saxon wine trail from Meißen to Diesbar Seußlitz. And since I didn't want to hike 34 km, I had the "I'll take the bus back variant" today. I got the bus ticket before the hike …

What an incredibly beautiful stage!

A few meters along the Elbradweg, the Albrechtsburg is always very present to my left, after about 2 km it goes up the Elbe slope into the vineyards to the Bocksberg. Proschwitz Castle comes into view after a little less than 3 km. It's good that …

At this year's wine run there were once again 14 refreshment stations over a 17km length with wine, butterscotch, fruit, coffee and cake. It's hard to get going and it ends up taking 8 hours. But the whole time is a pleasure with countless interesting conversations and culinary delights.
