Zschonergrund, Protected landscape area in western Dresden, Germany
Zschonergrund is a protected landscape area in western Dresden that consists of wooded sections, meadows, and gentle hills spread across the valley. A natural stream runs through the terrain, creating different paths for visitors to explore among the varied plant life.
The valley served agricultural purposes from medieval times, with hay cultivation and wine growing as main activities. Later it became a hunting ground for the Saxon Crown Prince.
The valley is a place where visitors come to walk and observe nature, enjoying the quiet landscape nestled between the hills. People escape here to experience the woods and open fields away from the city, finding time to connect with the land.
Access the area via tram line 7 to Pennrich station, then follow Oskar Maune Street and Altnossener Street into the valley. The paths are easy to walk and suitable for different types of visitors.
Beneath the valley lie remnants of a silver mine from 1763 that closed due to scarce ore deposits. An exploration tunnel remains visible today as a reminder of this forgotten mining chapter.
