The hiking trail, which is marked with a "green line", connects all the protected landscape areas bordering the city area over a total length of almost 40 kilometers.

Freital lies in the Döhlen Basin between the romantic Rabenauer Grund and the Plauenscher Grund, which belongs to Dresden. The circular hike leads across the green slopes around the town, from which new, fantastic views open up time and again. The viewing platform at the King Albert Monument on the Windberg, Freital's striking local mountain, deserves a special mention. The very varied trail leads through meadows and forests as well as the former villages of Pesterwitz, Wurgwitz, Niederhermsdorf, Saalhausen, Weißig and Kleinnaundorf, which today belong to the town.
