Family holidays

Making memories together

Family holidays should be relaxing but also a bit adventurous. Nature, water and mountains or cycling routes and theme parks don’t sound too bad either, do they? Should your family members nod their heads in agreement now, you’ve found your next holiday destination: Saxony!

Fans of hiking and climbing will get their money’s worth just as much as nature and castle explorers. Dozens of lakes are available for all kinds of fun in and by the water and family-friendly accommodation make things easy. Just look out for the Familienurlaub in Sachsen ("Family Holidays in Saxony") label!
