Weesenstein Castle in the Müglitz Valley and the Grosssedlitz Baroque Garden are two popular destinations in Saxon Switzerland. They are now connected via the new Kings' Trail, which is around 7.5 kilometers long. It is quite possible that the Wettin servants and messengers once used this path.
Weesenstein Castle - Belvedere - Way to Meusegast - Viewpoint at the edge of the forest - Baroque Garden Großsedlitz

The path can be walked in both directions. Starting at Weesenstein Castle, which can be reached on foot in ten minutes via Weesenstein train station, the trail first climbs a steep incline to the remains of the former Belvedere. Today, only the foundation walls remain of the small, two-story castle, which once housed a banqueting hall and the apartment of the electoral huntsman. The path continues to Meusegast to a viewpoint at the edge of the forest with a view of the foothills of the Ore Mountains and Saxon Switzerland. At the destination, the baroque garden Großsedlitz invites you to stroll. For the journey home, we recommend the S-Bahn stop Heidenau-Großsedlitz, which can be reached on foot in 20 minutes via a hiking trail.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
