Definitely visit the fortress and take the whole day for it! There are not only the buildings to visit, the circular walk along the fortress walls is also worthwhile! When visibility is good, you always have a different view far into the country.

Really impressive facility from the time of August the Strong. Beautiful views of Saxon Switzerland from the fortress.

Small town on the Elbe. The center has been beautifully restored. The famous fortress of the same name towers high above the city - a must-see, the view over the Elbe valley is unique.
