Forest Hotel Kreuztanne

Highlight • Restaurant

In its almost 200 years of history, the Waldhotel Kreuztanne in Sayda has seen a lot: in 1824, a post office was first built there, and soon the desire for more hospitality and the occasional cold drink arose. Then as a company holiday home, and since 1993 finally as a hotel complex.

Purschenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Unfortunately, you can't get into the castle, but at least the outdoor areas are accessible. The castle is currently used as a hotel. You can also eat in the restaurant.

Rauschenbach Reservoir

Highlight • Monument

Accessible dam. Unfortunately, there is no beautiful circular hiking trail around the dam. Unless you like walking the streets.

Cämmerswalde Aircraft Museum

Highlight • Monument

There are only 3 planes to marvel at. An IL14, MiG - 21 and a Mi - 2 helicopter. The IL14 aircraft can be viewed from the inside. Information boards and newspaper reports provide information about the history of the aircraft and the GDR fleet in general.
A small train runs around the three airplanes, which will certainly give the children a lot of fun riding along.
