This circular tour invites you to hike through peaceful, charming countryside with fascinating views and picturesque landscapes. The alternative route takes you past the German Chairmaking Museum, which is well worth a visit.

You can choose from 2 attractive variants on this circular tour: From the Rabenau station of the Weißeritz Valley Railway or the parking lot at the Rabenau Mill, you can either start through the peaceful Buchwald forest to the cycle path, which leads past the Götzenbusch natural monument with its magnificent panoramic views all the way to the Dippoldiswald Heath. Alternatively, you can walk along the steep "Sagenhafter Mühlberg" adventure trail into the upper town to the market with the beautiful chair fountain and the post mile column. The German Chair Building Museum is located below. It illustrates the development from chair making to industrial production in the town, but also shows interesting special exhibitions. After your visit, you can reach the foot of the former castle hill via a steel staircase and also take the cycle path towards Götzenbusch. Then discover numerous historically unique places in the Dippoldiswald Heath. Once you arrive at the Malter dam, you can take a relaxing break before setting off on the return hike to Rabenau through the valley of the Rote Weißeritz. Tired hikers can also take the Weißeritz Valley Railway back.
