About Freital
Freital lies a few kilometers south-west fromDresdenin the valley of the Weißeritz river, the left tributary of the Elbe. The elevation is about 160 m near the river and up to 350 m on top of the neighboring hills. The Weißeritz valley is rather narrow. Upon arriving fromDresden, you will certainly feel the approach to the Erzgebirge mountains that lie south and south-west from Freital. Outside Freital, the northern part of the valley narrows to a ravine that leads to thePlauendistrict of Dresden. South of the town, the Weißeritz splits into (or, actually, merges from) two smaller rivers that flow in separate narrow valleys. Freital is separated into several districts with easily-recognized borders. Until the beginning of the 20th century, each district constituted a separate town or villa
