Lommatzsch is located on the banks of the Elbe and surrounded by rolling hills. The town is about 30 kilometres northwest of Dresden and is known for its rich history as a trading town on the Via Regia. Today it offers a picturesque setting with traditional half-timbered houses along the streets.

One of the most important sights is the 16th-century Lommatzsch Castle with its Renaissance courtyard, as well as the town church of St. Aegidien with its Baroque organ from the 18th century.

Culturally interested visitors can also visit the Alte Lateinschule museum or enjoy concerts in various squares in the town during the annual Cultural Summer.

For gourmets, there are numerous restaurants, cafés and wine taverns serving regional specialities such as Sauerbraten or Riesling - perfectly accompanied by a magnificent view of the Elbe.

Outdoor enthusiasts can go hiking through vineyards or take bike tours along the Elbe cycle path - especially nice in spring and summer! In winter, you can go skiing in the nearby Ore Mountains or ice skating on frozen lakes.
