Elbe Sandstone, Vineyards and Forests: Your Holiday near Dresden
The Zwinger Palace, Dresden’s Frauenkirche, the view of the Elbe from Brühl’s Terrace – Dresden has more than earned its nickname “Florence on the Elbe”. All year round, the city attracts countless visitors looking for culture, history and baroque architecture. But if you fancy escaping the hustle and bustle for a few days, you don’t have to travel far. Just beyond the Elbe meadows, a completely different landscape awaits: rugged sandstone cliffs, gentle vineyards and quiet forests that make the stresses of everyday life feel a little further away. A holiday near Dresden means having a cultural city within reach while keeping your feet firmly planted in nature.
