The Dahlener Heide is one of the most impressive landscape conservation areas in Saxony. Vast forests, rich flora and fauna invite you to exploration routes.

From the heath village of Reudnitz, in the middle of the nature reserve "Reudnitzer Teichkette," the scenic route leads via the G-Path to the center of the Dahlener Heide - the Jägereiche at a six-way junction. In memory and honor of the Saxon Elector and King of Poland, Friedrich August, a memorial column was erected in 1763 after the last court hunt. Via Stauchitzer Weg, the state-recognized spa town Schmannewitz is reached. The baroque village church is based on plans by the architect of the Frauenkirche in Dresden. Also worth a visit are the Rural Museum, the renovated post mill, the animal enclosure, and the forest bathing area with its giant slide. The cozy inns with their typical heath specialties invite you to rest. The return route leads the passionate hiker past the pumping pond towards the Käthe-Kollwitz hut. Via the "M-Path," you comfortably return to Reudnitz.

The path continues westward and then southwest towards Stauchitzer Weg. Stauchitzer Weg is walked along to Scheibenwiese. Then briefly on the Forsthaus path and a few meters along the S24 until turning left onto Alten Teichweg. The rabbit monument is on the right and the Old Pond is to the left of the hiker. The path leads through Schmannewitz, to the animal enclosure and over Buchaer Straße to the forest pond with forest bathing and camping.
