Picturesque city center with pretty little shops and cafes. You will find the tourist office directly on the market square. There is also the first stamp for the Malerweg. If you complete all the tours, you will receive a certificate and a corresponding pin.

The originally preserved town center with the town hall rich in Gothic portals, with the Sonnenstein Fortress, the Protestant town church of St. Mary and the Canaletto House tells the story of the over 775 year old town. By the way, several historical city views of Pirna can be admired in the Dresden Picture Gallery - painted by the famous Italian veduta painter Bernardo Bellotto, known as Canaletto.

Hiking

The market square in Pirna and the surrounding houses are very well preserved and tell of a time when the inhabitants earned a lot of money with the sandstone from the surrounding quarries. The rest of the old town invites you to a cozy round, which you then complete with a rest in one of the many cafes and restaurants.
