Dommitzsch

Dommitzsch lies on the edge of the Dübener Heide nature park and is surrounded by picturesque countryside. The town itself is located at the mouth of the Schwarze Elster into the Elbe and thus offers an ideal starting point for water activities such as canoeing or boat tours.

The most famous sights include the castle with its impressive Renaissance portal and the town church of St. Bartholomew from the 13th century. A stroll through the historic old town with its lovingly restored half-timbered houses is always worthwhile.

Culturally interested people also get their money's worth in Dommitzsch: the "Heinrich Mann" cultural centre regularly offers concerts, theatre performances and readings. Another highlight is the annual town festival in summer and the Christmas market at Advent time.

For those who like to try regional specialities, the "Dommitzscher Hirschsprung" - a dish of venison with potato dumplings and red cabbage - is a must. The local beer "Schwarzer Abt" is also highly appreciated.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there are numerous opportunities for hiking, cycling or fishing. It is especially beautiful in spring and summer along the Elbe or in the surrounding forests.

And what do you do in Dommitzsch when it rains? No problem - the "Schönaubad" leisure pool offers bathing fun for the whole family, while the local history museum provides an insight into the history of the region.

Overall, Dommitzsch is definitely worth a visit: the idyllic location on the river, historical sights and cultural offerings as well as culinary specialities make this town a special experience.
