Sonnenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Sonnenstein Castle is well preserved and located above the old town. The fortress secured the routes from Stolpen to Prague and from Königstein to Meißen. Since December 2011, the castle has been the administrative headquarters of the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district. The white tower is striking and can be seen from afar.

View of Pirna from Schloss Sonnenstein (Canalettoweg, Malerweg)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The narrow path runs parallel to the steep slope through the forest. Very nice to walk with lots of shade and occasional views of the Elbe.

Historic Market Square in Pirna

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

View of Sonnenstein Castle and St. Mary's Church from Pirna's Old Town

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sonnenstein Castle is a landmark visible from afar above Pirna's old town. Since it was first mentioned in a document in 1269, it has been a castle, garrison, sanatorium, state-owned business and, since 2011, the seat of the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district office.

Pirna Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Pirna is located in the beautiful Elbe Valley and is surrounded by vineyards and castles. The medieval town center is well worth a visit and there are inviting opportunities to satisfy the hunger and thirst of cyclists on every corner. Also for the night the small town offers enough possibilities. By S-Bahn Pirna is well connected to the supra-regional railway network in Dresden.
