There are two ways to get to Waldheim from Dresden: On the one hand, you can take the A 14 to the junction Döbeln-North and then via the bypass Chub (B 169), on the other hand via the A4 to the connection point Hainichen and then via Rossau. The first variant is also used when traveling from Leipzig and the second when traveling from Chemnitz.

Practical advice
trips
A road leads south along the eastern bank of the Zschopau Kriebsteinwhere to get the 1 Kriebstein Castle
and can visit the dam.
The railway line north of Waldheim is historically interesting because this is where the so-called one is located Bankruptcy mile. The terrain in the Zschopautal was so difficult for the construction of the line from 1845 - five viaducts and a tunnel had to be built that the railway company perished and had to be bought up by the Saxon state. The first viaduct is the Diedenhainer Viaduct (172 m long, 23.3 m high), which the road to Hartha crosses under. This is followed by the Kummersmühle viaducts (110 m long, 10.2 m high), Steina (226 m long, 26.5 m high), Saalbach (83 m long, 13.8 m high) and Limmritz (260 m long, 31 , 7 m high). The latter enables the Zschopau crossing; the other viaducts only cross side valleys. The tunnel in front of the Limmritz train station was slit in the run-up to electrification in 1991.
