Dresden & Surroundings

Beyond the Elbe Sandstone Mountains

Saxon Switzerland (Germany) is not just an ideal holiday region for walkers, climbers and cyclists; the surrounding region has a lot to offer too. For example, it's just a 30 minutes train ride from/to Dresden (Saxony) which entices visitors with lots of culture, whilst Dresden Elbland attracts with its vineyards. Then there are the Eastern Erz Mountains, Bohemian Switzerland and Upper Lusatia, which are all located in the direct vicinity.

Bohemian Switzerland

Boundless hiking fun is guaranteed in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. It begins in Saxon Switzerland and continues across the German-Czech national border into its Bohemian counterpart. There guests can enjoy impressive landscapes and tours of discovery.

Ore Mountains

The Eastern Erz Mountains span across German and Czech ground. There are numerous sporting activities available here, especially in winter. Visitors are also attracted by the history of the mining tradition and the watch-making workshops in Glashütte.

Upper Lusatia

Hospitality and congeniality are at home in Upper Lusatia. Idyllic landscapes, old Umgebinde houses, delicious food, small, romantic small towns and more welcome their guests in the immediate vicinity of the Czech and Polish borders.

Dresden Elbland

Day-trip destinations line up like pearls along the stretch of the River Elbe. There, where Saxon wine ripens on the steep slopes above the River Elbe, there is far more to do than just discover the home town of Karl May or the former royal porcelain fact

Dresden

Dresden astounds with its baroque splendour, numerous museums and wide range of cultural offerings. Wander through the beautiful old town, go on a pub crawl in the trendy Neustadt district or visit Semper opera house.
