Radebeul, the centerpiece of the Saxon Wine Route, nestles impressively amidst the vineyards of the Lößnitz region, and stretches as far as the floodplains of the River Elbe. The town is characterized by its lush greenery, renowned architecture, its art, its culture and its endearing charm. A visit to the Hoflößnitz Weingutmuseum (Winery museum) is a must for wine connoisseurs, as is a trip to Schloss Wackerbarth, a place which redefines the word "enjoyment."
Discover the charm of the town on a walk across the historic village green of Altkötzschenbroda, meander through the vineyards and discover little wineries where you can expect them to spoil you with some of their finest drops. Get off the tourist trail and explore the lovingly restored architectural gems which make Radebeul such a special place to live. Fans of historic forms of transport can live the dream on the Elbe paddle steamers belonging to the Sächsische Dampfschifffahrt Company, or on the steam-powered narrow-gauge railway. For admirers of Karl May and his works the Karl May Museum offers an impressive insight into his world, and that of the Indians of North America.
In addition to the richness of the landscape, the numerous and varied opportunities for wine-lovers, hikers and cyclists, Radebeul also attracts large numbers of visitors with its annual festivals. The Karl May festival, the Fall and Wine Festival, the International Traveling Theatre Festival as well as the graphic art market and the Christmas market are especially deserving of mention. There is certainly a very personal slice of "enjoyment" to be had for all age groups, and all tastes.
