Discover Röderaue: Hiking and landscapes

Explore Röderaue through its distinctive hiking and landscape features: the marked Red Dot hiking trail runs through the protected landscape area, and a recreation area encompasses woodland landscapes and large bodies of water. There are also named destinations in Koselitz and Raden.

Hiking and landscapes in Röderaue

The Red Dot is a clear point of reference if you would like to combine your trip with a hike. The trail runs through the Röderaue protected landscape area. Before setting out, check the trail markers and conditions on site; both may be important when planning your route. This makes the hike the specific activity associated with your stay, while the protected landscape provides the setting.

The recreation area complements the hiking experience with woodland landscapes and large bodies of water. This offers two different perspectives: the marked Red Dot draws attention to a specific hiking route, while the woodland and water characterize the landscape of the recreation area. When organizing your travel plans, this distinction helps separate a specific trail experience from a more general landscape theme.

Koselitz: Schafberg Maze

The Schafberg Maze is located at the manor house in Koselitz, Röderaue. In a maze, finding your way through the network of paths is the main attraction; this sets it apart from a hike along the marked Red Dot trail.

Runze spring fen in Raden

Runze spring fen is located in Raden, within Röderaue. When visiting, please respect nature conservation rules and check on site whether any access restrictions apply.

In the wider Meißen travel destination

The wider Meißen travel destination offers additional, primarily cultural attractions. At the visitor centre of the State Porcelain Manufactory Meissen, you can see how Meissen porcelain is shaped and painted. Albrechtsburg Castle presents the history of the Wettin princely dynasty. Its exhibition uses virtual presentations and interactive media stations; exhibition displays may change. So check the latest exhibition information before visiting. At Albrechtsburg Castle, the HistoPad offers an interactive discovery tour featuring augmented reality and 3D presentations. Nine time portals take you back as far as the 15th century.

Meißen City Museum takes a different approach: historical models illustrate the city’s development, alongside large exhibits on viticulture and Elbe fishing and navigation. The museum also displays typical Meissen porcelain and ceramic products. In addition to the permanent exhibition, special exhibitions change twice a year. This lets you distinguish between porcelain production, a media-based account of the castle’s history, and the city’s history, including viticulture and Elbe navigation.

Wine is also one of the regional experiences in Meißen: you can sample Meissen wine in the city and in the surrounding Elbe wine villages along the river. The Meissen Wine Pavilion on the market square invites you to sample wine daily from spring to autumn.
