Many cultural highlights await you on site: Start your excursion with the town hall on the market square, whose yellow façade and striking clock tower dating back to 1700 immediately catch the eye. St. Jacob's Church, the tallest building in the city, provides an imposing backdrop and is also a must for culture lovers with charming photo spots. In the town museum, you can learn exciting facts about gold mining, the production of artificial flowers and important personalities from the region. Langburkersdorf Castle in the district of the same name is not only distinguished by its historical significance, but is also popular as a romantic wedding location. A highlight for the whole family is the Mariba leisure world, which delights with its tropical flair and diverse attractions. The adventure pool offers a wave pool, a giant slide, whirlpools and a spacious wellness area.
For adventurers, we recommend a visit to the Hohwald gold and mineral adventure site. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the exciting history of gold mining and get hands-on with gold panning. Those looking for peace and relaxation, on the other hand, will find it in the well-tended green spaces and secluded paths in the Arthur Richter City Park.
On hot summer days, outdoor pools such as the open-air swimming lake or the forest pool in the Polenz district offer a welcome way to cool off. Thanks to a well-developed network of cycle paths, which is also connected to the Elbe cycle path, there are routes to suit all abilities. We particularly recommend the "Around Neustadt" route, which connects the most beautiful places over a distance of 20 to 35 kilometers.
In the cold season, the region turns into a small winter sports paradise. At the Rugiswalde ski slope, winter sports enthusiasts will find a 420-metre-long ski slope and a ski school. Cross-country skiers will also get their money's worth, as the trails in the area offer the best conditions for extended tours through the snow-covered landscape.
