Feldweg Marsdorf–Medingen, Farm road and natural monument in Dresden and Ottendorf-Okrilla, Germany

The Feldweg Marsdorf–Medingen is an unpaved historic farm track about 1.5 km long that winds between Marsdorf, a district of Dresden, and Medingen in Ottendorf-Okrilla. Two pale gravel and dirt wheel tracks run side by side with a narrow strip of green grass between them and grass along the outer edges. Tall trees line one side and a crop field the other; hedges, shrubs and fruit trees grow along the verges.

In 2001 the Medingen local history society proposed protecting the historic farm track as an endangered cultural landscape, backed by the Großdittmannsdorf group of NABU. A planned protected landscape element failed for lack of support from the Ottendorf-Okrilla council and some Weixdorf politicians. In 2010 Dresden and Ottendorf-Okrilla agreed on protection as a Flächennaturdenkmal; the ordinance was signed in November 2013 by Dresden's mayor Helma Orosz.

The path connects two rural settlements and is used by farmers who have worked their fields here for generations. The wide grass strips in the middle and unpaved edges show how agriculture and nature are managed together in this traditional way.

The path runs about 1.5 km between Marsdorf and Medingen, crossing the Dresden city boundary into the Bautzen district; the protected strip covers roughly 3.33 hectares. Its surface is unpaved gravel and dirt with a grassy centre strip, so sturdy footwear helps after rain. The route curves repeatedly, and the wheel tracks narrow as they recede between a tree line and open crop fields.

The protected area covers about 3.33 hectares, split between Dresden (about 1.12 hectares) and the Bautzen district (about 2.21 hectares). It lies within the Moritzburger Kleinkuppenlandschaft protected landscape. The Birkhübel, a managed hornbeam and sessile oak coppice with wood, is part of the monument and serves as an island habitat for lily of the valley, Solomon's seal and May lily.
