Oberpoyritz

Oberpoyritz is a district in the southeast of the Saxon capital city of Dresden. It is located at the city border in the eponymous district, which belongs to the Loschwitz district.

Oberpoyritz is situated on the outskirts, 12 km east-southeast of the Dresden city center, the Inner Old Town, and directly south of the Elbe hills that gradually slope eastward. The majority of the area lies in the Elbe valley basin, including the village center. The center is still called Dorfplatz and has been partly preserved. It is located at an elevation of about 120 m above sea level at the Graupaer Bach, which flows into the Elbe located a little over 1 km to the west. Approximately 1 km north of the district lies the peak of the 361 m high Borsberg. Together with the neighboring eponymous district of Schönfeld-Weißig, it is already part of the Schönfeld Highlands; at its slopes, directly north of Oberpoyritz, lies the 107 ha large nature reserve Borsberghänge and Friedrichsgrund, which is bordered to the east by the Tiefen Grund, which also marks the city border. Additionally, a pedunculate oak designated as natural monument ND 85 stands on the village square.
