The circular route in the shape of an eight offers wonderful views over Freital and a visit to the King Albert monument and the miner's grave.

This easy trail without any major climbs is ideal for occasional hikers. It leads mostly through the forest and offers wonderful views over Freital from the King Albert Monument and the Kleiner Windberg. For shorter walks, just walk one loop of the eight, as they intersect near the starting point.

The miner's grave commemorates the 276 miners who lost their lives in the biggest mining accident in Saxony's mining history on August 2, 1869 in the underground shafts "Segen Gottes" and "Neue Hoffnung".

Three parking spaces offer individual access to the tour.
