Glashütte, the city of watches... Time lives here.

You take the Weißeritztalbahn from Freital-Hainsberg to Schmiedeberg-Buschmühle, the starting point of the tour. Due to the quality of the surface of the hiking route, it can also be planned as a cycle tour. In this case, also extended from Glashütte through the Müglitz valley, downhill. Or as a circular cycle route via Bärenhecke and Johnsbach, Falkenhain and Dönschten back to the start. Once you arrive at Buschmühle station, turn east and cross the main road 170. As soon as you have turned into the road to Dönschten, an asphalt forest path leads you quite clearly uphill for almost 150 meters. But just 1 km later you have reached the highest point and cross the Hochwaldstraße between Oberfrauendorf and Falkenhain. From now on, continue downhill on the "Wasserweg", past the "Faulen Pfütze" along the Prießnitzbach stream, until you reach the "Bretthäusel" inn, a rest area with seasonal opening hours. Due to the construction of the flood retention basin above Glashütte, the route continues from here on the road (district road 9026) to the famous watchmaking town. We recommend a visit to the German Clock Museum in Glashütte. Take the Müglitz Valley Railway past Weesenstein to Heidenau and the S1 to Dresden for a railroad adventure. If you have purchased a VVO small group ticket, you can create a successful day experience with various interruptions to the journey (e.g. to visit Weesenstein Castle).

Note: If you decide to take the Müglitztalbahn from Glashütte in the direction of Altenberg, then the Osterzgebirgsmuseum in Lauenstein is on the way, or the Osterzgebirge Wildlife Park at the Hartmannmühle stop, or Geising and Altenberg.
