Hike to Seerosenteich (pond)
Starting at the "Gerhart-Hauptmann-Straße" tram stop (Line 4) head north and turn left onto Mittlere Bergstraße. The Krapenberg vineyard stretches across the hillside above Mittlere Bergstraße between Krapenbergweg and Kynastweg. There is evidence that the Krapenberg hillside has been used to grow wine grapes ever since 1590. To the right of the Krapenberg vineyards is the Krapenburg, a manor built in 1710 and converted and restored in 1988. 
Following renovation the building has now been returned to its former glory. Along Mittlere Bergstraße and Kynastweg, hidden by the long, 2.5 to 3 m high natural stone wall is the former vine testing station, and an almost entirely preserved covered vineyard of approx 40 x 70 m in size. This site was created in 1862 by the Leipzig apothecary Ludwig August Neubert to protect cold-sensitive table grapes and fruit cultures from bad weather. The covering walls were intended to store the heat from the sun and thus create a microclimate more suitable for growing table grapes.
Continue uphill along Kynastweg where you will come to the former "Haus Kynast" wine estate, a baroque winery in Zitzschewig.This impressive estate includes a manor house with a high hipped roof (built in 1760), the tower house, the gardener's quarters, stables and the barn. The last three buildings are now used as private residences following a faithful restoration. A wide driveway leads to a park-like garden with beautiful old trees, including one of the oldest protected sweet chestnut trees still standing in Radebeul.Kynastweg ends at the entrance to the Rietzschkegrund estate, so you should continue left onto Talkenbergweg. On both sides of the path there are cultivated vineyards. Before you come to Spitzgrundstraße from Talkenbergweg you will see the "Talkenberger Hof" on the right, a renovated, former winery with outbuildings.Follow Spitzgrundstraße until you reach Gabelweg on the right. Before you head up the steps to the "Hoher Stein" stone quarry, you can take a walk past the springs that serve as the source of the Pfarrbach stream. The spring has been tapped to catch the source water which is then channeled into the stream. Once you have reached "Hoher Stein" you can read all about the history, nature and landscape of the area on a number of information boards, and enjoy the view across the valley. After you have descended from the "Hoher Stein" you will find yourself on Gabelweg once again, where you should continue on towards Seerosenteich.
The pond is situated on one of three Spitzgrund forest nature trails. The Seerosenteich Lake was formed at the end of the 19th century in a syenite quarry as a result of the build-up of rainwater. There is no natural influx or drainage and the water-level is dependent on rainfall and surface evaporation. The structure of the Seerosenteich ecosystem is illustrated in the form of biotopes on an information board. The lake got its name from the white water lilies (Weiße Seerosen in German) which cover large swathes of its surface area. When the lilies are in bloom the lake is a sight to behold.
Continue on to Kreyernweg which leads to a fork in the road. Here you should continue along Auerweg. Continue along this road until you come to Kroatengrund. Turn left here and continue downhill.
The lower part of this path is surrounded by high vineyard walls, and you will be rewarded with views of the vine-covered hillsides. At the end of the path you should reach Obere Johannisbergstraße which brings you directly to the tram stop of the same name (Line 4). From here you can take the tram to Dresden or Weinböhla.
Perhaps you feel like taking a side-trip to the "Schloss Wackerbarth" winery instead? If so, turn left from Obere Johannisbergstraße onto Mittlere Bergstraße and after about 100 m you will come to the baroque palace belonging to Count von Wackerbarth. Today the Saxon State Winery houses one of the most modern sparkling wine and wine production facilities. If you want to know why sparkling wine should be vibrated and not shaken then why not join one of the wine tours?
