The tour

Your walk begins at Radebeul-Ost railway station. From there, the route takes you through the streets of Radebeul, past historic buildings, the tourist information centre, the Karl May playground and through the idyllic Karl May Grove. The Karl May Museum is right on your route. After about 2.0 kilometres and a 32-minute walk, you’ll reach the foot of the vineyards.

You will then ascend into the wine-growing landscape of the Lößnitz slopes. The route follows Hoflößnitzstraße, passing the Hoflößnitzvineyard and wine-growing museum, and rewards you with magnificent views before you descend into the Lößnitzgrund.

You’ll continue your walk through the unspoilt countryside towards Moritzburg. The path takes you past Dippelsdorfer Teich, through the undulating landscape of small hills near Moritzburg and finally to Moritzburg Castle, where your walk ends.

The Lößnitz Trail is accessible throughout and signposted in both directions. Information posts along the route explain the special features of the landscape and the sights.

Please note: due to construction work in the Lößnitzgrund area, the Lößnitz Trail is currently only accessible via a signposted diversion.
