Keppgrund

The Keppgrund is a wooded side valley of the River Elbe between Loschwitz and Pillnitz, near Dresden in Saxony, Germany.

The Keppbach, a brook rising in the Schönfeld Upland and about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) long, flows through the valley into the Elbe.

It is thought there was a mill on the site in the 12th century; the present half-timbered building dates from 1781.

By the 19th century the Keppgrund had become a popular place for excursions, and a restaurant opened at the Keppmühle.

[1] The composer Carl Maria von Weber lived nearby, during summer months in the 1820s, in Hosterwitz [de], at that time a vine-growing village, now a part of Dresden.
