Enjoy some time out from concrete-filled cities at Lake Birkwitz. This is an ideal place to get some fresh air, slow down and soak up the views.

This body of water is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Pratzschwitz. But Lake Birkwitz isn't the area's only highlight. Pillnitz Castle and Park, Dresden Elbe Valley, and Grosssedlitz Baroque Garden are some other interesting sights nearby.

8/10 Very Good! (734 reviews)

The hotel is around 20 minutes away from the Old Town and pretty straightforward. The room provided to us was fairly spacious. There is no AC and we couldn't find a fan, but the weather was very refreshing so we left the windows open. The breakfast buffet was good and had various options.
