How to get here

Grosssedlitz is about 20 kilometres from Dresden city centre, in the direction of Saxon Switzerland. Located between Heidenau and Pirna, in the Grosssedlitz district of Heidenau, about 90 metres above the Elbe, it is an idyllic, somewhat hidden and thus ideal place. Augustus the Strong would often stop here on his journeys to Koenigstein Fortress.
