The name Porcelain Route comes from the starting point Nikolaikirche. This was built as a memorial church for those who died in World War I, decorated with impressive works made of Meissen porcelain. The route has several climbs and leads up the Goldgrund over the Plossen to Siebeneichen Castle, past the zoo and back via the Poets' Path to the starting point.
