View of Pillnitz Palace

Highlight • Viewpoint

The castle is located directly on the banks of the Elbe and cannot be overlooked due to its impressive (also colorful) construction. From the opposite bank, the castle shows its most beautiful side, especially in the late afternoon. On the site itself you should then take a lot more time.

View of the Blue Wonder (Loschwitzer Bridge)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the "Loschwitz Bridge", also known as the "Blue Wonder", on both sides is particularly beautiful. The "Blue Wonder" is to be given its blue color again, as it was in historical times. Illuminated by the sun, however, the bridge still lives up to its name and shines in a magical blue.
