May 4, 2025,Schloss Weesenstein - Dohna - Barockgarten Großsedlitz | Runde von Meusegast

From the hiking car park in Meusegast, this short circular hike first led to Weesenstein Castle and its beautiful castle grounds 😊, then along the Müglitz River and the Planet Trail to Dohna.

After a short break near Dohna Castle, the hike passed the Großsedlitz Baroque Garden on the way back.

After a busy day at the office, I quickly savored the springtime. Across the plateau with a view toward the Elbe Valley. Blooming fields, delicate green trees, and softening evening light. Simply wonderful.
