Oschatz

Oschatz is characterised by its location on the Elbe. The town is located on the western edge of the Dübener Heide Nature Park, a region with many lakes and forests. Here you can go hiking or cycling and enjoy the unspoiled nature.

Oschatz also has a lot to offer culturally: Visit Hubertusburg Castle, one of the largest baroque castles in Europe, or stroll through the historic town centre with its half-timbered houses dating back to the 16th century.

Another highlight are the numerous events such as the annual Hubertusburg Peace Festival in September or the Wine Festival in August. Here you can sample local specialities and party into the night.

Culinary Oschatz also offers some highlights: Try the famous "Oschatzer Kachelofenbraten", a hearty dish of pork served on potato dumplings - a must for every gourmet!

If it rains, there are also indoor activities such as a visit to the Altzella Monastery Museum or a guided tour of the Red Tower Art Gallery.

The best seasons to do outdoor activities are spring and summer, when nature is in full bloom. It is particularly beautiful along the Elbe or at the nearby Kriebstein reservoir.
