Coswig – our town is in the middle…
Coswig is located near the green edge of Dresden, in the middle of the Elbe valley, on the right side of the Elbe river, close to the Saxon wine-street and in between the provincial capital of Dresden and the district town Meißen. Coswig also includes the villages Brockwitz, Sörnewitz and the urban district Neusörnewitz. The former villages Neucoswig and Kötitz were suburbanized in 1920 and 1935.

Attractions close by:

Meißen:
Albrechtsburg, state-owned porcelain manufactory.

Moritzburg:
Baroque castle, Saxon stud farm, game enclosure.

Radebeul:
Karl-May-Museum, historic village Altkötzschenbroda, castle Wackerbarth, Spitzhaus, light railway Radebeul-Moritzburg-Radeburg.

…and in case of rain:

Coswig is located in the heart of historic and cultural highlights of the Saxon Elbe-County, has an excellent connection to public transport and is an ideal starting point to visit the surrounding sights.

Get into the tram and arrive in Radebeul shortly. Get details about the production of wine and sparkling wine at castle Wackerbarth and visit the Karl-May-museum. Ride with the traditional light railway – locally called "Lösnitzdackel" to Moritzburg. The sights there are the former castle of "August des Starken" and the Saxon stud farm. After that, take the bus to Meißen, the cradle of Saxony. The visitor center of the state-owned porcelain manufactory gives you the chance to learn more about the skills of handling porcelain. Don’t miss to walk through the historic city center, Albrechtsburg and towards the cathedral. Directly beneath the cathedral you can find the pier for the ferry to Coswig, which takes you back to the starting point Coswig. Alternatively you can use the commuter-train.
