Discover the region
One highlight of Hohnstein is undoubtedly the castle of the same name on the mountain top. The impressive building dates back to the 13th century and today houses a museum with exhibitions on the history of the region.
Culturally, Hohnstein also has a lot to offer: Visit the Young Generation Theatre or the Stolpen Castle Festival to get to know regional art and cultural projects.
For culinary delights, we recommend trying local specialities such as "deer stew" or "sauerbraten of wild boar" - typically Saxon! You can enjoy these delicacies in the cosy inns of the town.
Even when the weather is bad, there are plenty of activities: for example, discover the stalactite cave "Baumannshöhle", visit the local history museum or simply relax in one of the many wellness facilities on site.
The most beautiful season for a visit to Hohnstein is undoubtedly autumn, when the leaves turn colourful and the weather is mild. But also in summer, numerous open-air swimming pools and lakes tempt you to take a dip.
All in all, a visit to Hohnstein is always worthwhile - whether as a day trip or a longer journey. We hope that this travel guide will help you to make the most of your time there!
