Moritzburg lake landscape with Hunting Lodge

“In the realm of Diana”

The Wettins' passion for hunting, and horse-breeding which came in the wake of hunting, have shaped the lake and forest area around Moritzburg, which is about 15 km from Dresden, Narrow gauge railwayduring the last 500 years. A guided tour of Moritzburg Hunting Lodge will make even non-hunters understand the hunter's yarn. The collection of antlers shown here together with the Baroque interior and an unparalleled wealth of leather wall-coverings gives you an impression of the wild hunts and sumptuous feasts of the Wettins. Absorb the lovely landscape even better on a walking tour from the hunting lodge to the setting of electoral "sea battles", the Fasanenschlösschen.

Time: 4 hours

May be combined with narrow gauge railway tour to Radebeul, where Karl May, the literary father of Winnetou, spent the last years of his life.
