Hiking

Post mile pillars were set up during the reign of August the Strong on all important post and trade routes and in almost all cities of the Electorate of Saxony to indicate official distances.

The original of the post distance column was made in 1730 and placed on the market in 1731. From around 1835 it stood on the market as a postmaster's column without a coat of arms. The current column is the second replica.

The Saxon post mile column on the market in Tharandt is the second replica with the original coat of arms. There is also a geoache here.
