On this trail, which is about 90 kilometres long, you can enjoy the grapes and the beautiful landscape. You will pass by the nicest vineyards, viewpoints and wineries. The historic cities Pirna, Dresden and Meissen – with their unique sights like the castle in Pillnitz, the Church of Our Lady in Dresden and the china factories in Meissen – will impress you.
