Fiedlergrund, valley in Radebeul, Germany
Fiedlergrund is a steep valley in Oberlößnitz, a district of Radebeul in Germany, with forested hillsides and gentle terrain. The Fiedlerbach stream runs through it, connected to walking paths established since 1886 for visitors to explore.
The area was known as Finstergrund in the 16th century before later being named after wine grower C. G. Walther. Since the 1770s the Fiedlerbach has run underground, becoming one of the region's so-called lost waters.
The name Fiedlergrund comes from Carl Ludwig Fiedler, a royal doctor who opened a health retreat here in 1893. The area was shaped for generations by wine growing and taverns where locals gathered and founded the community of Oberlößnitz in 1839.
The valley is reachable by bus line 80, which stops at Baumwiese or Am Grunde with just a short walk from there to the entrance. The paths are well-maintained and suitable for visitors of all ages, especially families and older people.
The Fiedlerbach is one of the region's so-called lost waters, sinking underground instead of flowing into the Elbe River as expected. Another curiosity is the small model village Ober-Piependorf built by Felix Hauptmann in the 1930s as a popular attraction, which no longer stands today.
