RATAGS Kunsthandwerk Langenwolmsdorf

Come on in and make yourself at home. Ample parking is available.

RATAGS Arts and Crafts is a great example of how a connection to one’s homeland and a love for Erzgebirge woodcarving come together. Since 1987, the company has been continuously developing the beautiful tradition of Erzgebirge woodcarving. Visit the RATAGS Arts and Crafts House and experience a family-friendly wonderland spanning over 20,000 square meters, featuring an animal enclosure, a fairy-tale forest, a giant pyramid, a playground, a Christmas and spring house, and a craft and toy shop. In the demonstration workshop, you can see firsthand how intricate Erzgebirge woodcraft is made. RATAGS Kunsthandwerk is located in the Saxon Switzerland/Eastern Ore Mountains district, approximately 28 km from the state capital of Dresden. It is a member of the Association of Ore Mountain Artisans and Toy Manufacturers (Verband Erzgebirgischer Kunsthandwerker und Spielzeughersteller e. V.) and is authorized to bear the “Echt Erzgebirge” seal – Wooden Art with Heart. In addition to being produced in Saxony, this seal recognizes above all the nature of the products and the methods used to create them.

The Spring House, the demonstration workshop, and parts of the Christmas House have been given a fresh coat of paint, offering more space and brighter lighting. The beer garden has gained a partially covered area and has been expanded to 138 seats. Here, every visitor will find a shady spot, a fresh draft beer, and delicious food. The “Bauernwirtschaft” restaurant and guesthouse offers plenty of space in four lovingly furnished dining rooms: the cozy “Guten Stube,” the “Jägerstübel,” and the “Rustikale Scheune.” In addition, you can book the restaurant and bar in the vaulted cellar for your celebrations. The kitchen places great emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients and dishes and has received numerous awards. You can find the menu here.
The guesthouse offers cozy rooms and a large vacation apartment for overnight stays.
