Holzweg Adventure Trail, Grillenburg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

On the "Holzweg", which leads into the forest near Grillenburg along the Triebisch, hikers of all ages can learn something about trees, wood and the use of the forest. Many display boards close together explain all sorts of useful things. Touching and feeling expressly encouraged. Every now and then you have to deviate briefly from the main path to take a closer look at a station, but the path is also easy to cope with with a pram. It was built under the direction of the Tharandt Teaching Forestry Office and is around two kilometers long - including the way back - and has no noticeable gradient.

Neues Jagdhaus (Hunter’s House) and Bunker Mutschmann

Highlight • Historical Site

As a guest house for hunting events, a mansion was built over the old, historic cellar vaults in 1934. The building, richly furnished with wood inlays by the "Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau", was often used by the Saxon Gauleiter Martin Mutschmann. In the future, a conference center of the TU Dresden and TU Bergakademie Freiberg is to be built here.

Grillenburg Hunting Lodge

Highlight • Castle

The hunting lodge was bought by the Free State of Saxony in 2020/2021. After extensive renovation and extensions, the TU Dresden would like to use the property as a meeting and conference location together with the TU Bergakademie Freiberg.

Pöppelmann Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Grillenburg hunting lodge was built in the 1550s under Elector Frederick Augustus of Saxony. However, the origins of this complex date back to the 12th century, as confirmed by findings in the cellars. At the beginning of the 13th century, a castle-like estate already existed in the same location. The castle complex, built in the mid-16th century, originally consisted of the Prince's House, the Huntsman's House, the Estate Office, and a servants' house with stables. The sandstone bridge over the Gondelteich pond was created by Pöppelmann in 1730. sachsens-schloesser.de/tharandt-jagdschloss-grillenburg
