Set off on an exciting walk through hidden vineyards and historic sites, and enjoy picturesque views of Radebeul’s breathtaking countryside.
Along the way, you’ll discover old vineyard walls and terraces hidden behind dense trees, bearing witness to the once-thriving wine-growing culture. Following the phylloxera plague in the late 19th century, these vineyards were abandoned, and nature has reclaimed its space. Numerous information points along the trail document this ‘vineyard in transition’.
From the Albrechtshöhe, you can enjoy a fascinating view over the Dresden Heath, the Dresden TV Tower and as far as Saxon Switzerland. At the traditional ‘Graue Presse’ estate , an information board tells the story of the historic wine press, which you can still admire today at the Hoflößnitz Wine Museum.
Continue your walk along the enchanted Straken forest path, where you can see the remains of Radebeul’s historic water supply system. From the lower sunken path, you can see the ‘Steinerne Schnecke’ high up on the Hermannsberg – an old stone structure dating from the 17th century that once served as a watchtower for thieves and fires and now stands as the landmark of the ‘Drei Herren’ vineyard. The trail continues through the Oberlößnitz, where Radebeul shows itself at its most beautiful. Historic winegrowers’ houses and places of interest accompany you on your way through the idyllic vineyard landscape.
A highlight is the historic vineyard house "Spitzhaus%$, which now houses a panoramic restaurant. From the sun terrace, you’ll enjoy a magnificent view of the ‘Goldener Wagen’ vineyard and far beyond Radebeul. Right next to it stands the Bismarck Tower, from whose viewing platform you can also enjoy a stunning view. Follow the Spitzhaus steps downhill, right through the heart of the vineyard. The Hoflößnitz Winery is home to the Saxon Wine-growing Museum. Here you can learn more about the history of Saxon viticulture and the work of Radebeul’s winegrowers. On the wine terrace, you can enjoy a glass of wine in a relaxed atmosphere, all of which comes exclusively from the Hoflößnitz estate’s organic vineyards. There is also a tourist information point here.
Finally, take a stroll along Weinbergstraße, where wineries, romantic wine estates and wine taverns line the street, and their winegrowers invite you to themed wine tastings and vineyard tours.
Via Eduard-Bilz-Straße, with its lovingly restored Ziller houses, you’ll reach your starting point, Eduard-Bilz-Platz.
