September 25, 2021,Sächsischer Weinwanderweg 1: Genusswandern im Elbland

Off to a new hike 🥾💚

This time it will be a real pleasure and culture hike. Because I'll take you on the Saxon Wine Trail. Together with Matthias, I started early in the morning in the historic old town of Pirna.

December 19, 2021,Sächsischer Weinwanderweg🍇 Etappe 1

The Saxon Wine Trail begins where the first large-scale vineyards on the Elbe once appeared: in Pirna. Today there are only small vineyards left here, but there are numerous testimonies to historical viticulture. Cultural highlights on the 1st stage of the wine hiking trail are the Richard Wagner sites in Graupa as well as Pillnitz Castle and the vineyard church …

November 15, 2025,Sächsischer Weinwanderweg 1: Von Pirna bis Pillnitz

"Seven kilometers would have been enough." Hindsight is always 20/20, but all in all, we had a lovely day. We started with breakfast, the newspaper, and some chatting, so we didn't catch the 11:42 train to Pirna until then. In Pirna, it was another two kilometers to the starting point of the Saxon Wine Route – as it's officially called …

There's no such thing as bad weather... so put on your hiking boots and finally start the Saxon Wine Trail with its approx. 90 km. As a "local" the arrival and departure by public transport works wonderfully. Start for the 1st stage was the Postaer Winzertafel at the winter port. Since the 1990s there have also been hard-working leisure winegrowers …

Pirna - Posta ... the Saxon Wine Trail begins at the Winterhafen. Winegrowing spread to this point in the 18th century.
We walk from the train station in Pirna to the Winterhafen and then on to the Mockethaler Grund. Then the path winds up the steps to the Burglehnpfad (Burglehn Path). Beautiful views of the opposite bank of the Elbe, …

A really beautiful first stage, I hadn't expected it to be like that, the reward was at the Zimmerling winery in Oberpoyritz, I couldn't get enough of the bronze figures, I've never seen anything so beautiful, so wonderfully graceful, goosebumps, tears in my eyes, worth repeating 100%
I'm looking forward to the next stage.

Highly recommended. 👍
