Weather tips
Historical parks, narrow gorges, and a plateau with good views shape this circular hike through the nature reserves of the Wild and Red Weißeritz.
The hike initially follows the Brüderweg over noticeably dry and warm slopes to Freital-Hainsberg and further through the moist and cool gorge to Somsdorf. Here stands the natural monument "Somsdorfer yew." Via the sun temple, you return to the starting point.
Tharandt station
Tharandt station
From the station in Tharandt, walk a bit towards the town. In front of the first house on the right side of the street is the entrance to the Brüderweg, which gently ascends along a hillside path towards Freital-Hainsberg. Upon reaching the town entrance, follow the green stripe marking to Somsdorfer Straße; opposite the Freital-Hainsberg West stop is the entrance to Heilsberger Park. The ENSO energy experience trail marking leads along the mill race to the entrance of the Rabenauer Grund at a weather mushroom. Alternatively, you can reach Freital-Coßmannsdorf station of the Weißeritztalbahn via Hainsberger Straße and the street "An der Spinnerei." Passing the shopping and leisure center, you arrive at the Red Weißeritz and via a bridge also reach the weather mushroom. The yellow stripe marking leads through the Devil's Gorge to Somsdorf and back to the starting point in Tharandt. Note: The path through the Somsdorfer gorge requires sure-footedness and is not suitable for strollers.
Sturdy footwear recommended.
