Sebnitz

Discovering the Wealth of the Rear Saxon Switzerland

The Rear Saxon Switzerland, with its unique location and variety of offerings, invites visitors to enjoy excursions, hikes, and nature experiences, as well as to discover crafts, tradition, history, and culture.

Sebnitz is idyllically situated at the northern transition from the Elbe Sandstone Mountains to the Lusatian Highlands, directly on the German-Czech border. The city offers ideal conditions for a varied vacation, not only thanks to this exposed location in the national park region. In the town, which is primarily known as the "Silk Flower City", everything is still dedicated to flowers today. During a tour of the demonstration manufactory "Deutsche Kunstblume Sebnitz", visitors can experience the fascinating tradition of this traditional craft, which has been at home here since 1834. In the Kräutervitalbad, those seeking relaxation can unwind and be thoroughly pampered in both summer and winter. Model railway enthusiasts will get their money's worth in the TILLIG Model Railway Gallery.

Several well-known towns in the Kirnitzschtal as well as Hinterhermsdorf have been incorporated into Sebnitz.

The following districts belong to  Sebnitz

Altendorf | Hainersdorf | Hertigswalde | Hinterhermsdorf | Lichtenhain | Mittelndorf | Ottendorf | Saupsdorf | Schönbach | Sebnitz
