The Saxon Elbe region

Grain, fruit, wine, game and fish for the table, sleek horses for the royal stables, wood for the mines, buildings and precious porcelain to flaunt: these were all things the region provided in abundance.

Guests have a wide range of choices for leisure activities. Hiking, biking, walking or riding – everything is possible. Visitors who prefer to relax can go on the steamboats travelling along the Elbe River with its beautiful vineyards, cities and villages.

Hundreds of years ago, the delightful countryside around the Elbe downstream of Dresden provided a princely way of life for Saxony’s rulers.

These days, too, visitors to the region can look forward to plenty of sunshine, greenery and a wealth of fascinating heritage.

The Saxon Elbe region offers various surroundings on both sides of the Elbe River. It is an area where people can escape from everyday life and have the chance to discover the pleasant natural surroundings.
