Saxon Switzerland National Park Center
Seven themed areas guide visitors through the most important aspects of the national park - from the striking rock formations to the tranquil forests. Interactive stations, models, short films and audio clips make the content clear and accessible - also for children and school classes.
One focus is on the forest. The so-called "ant world" provides a lively insight into the complex coexistence of a seemingly small habitat. In the outdoor area, there is a playground, a school garden, a green classroom and a relaxation area. A clay oven is also put into operation during events.
The house is barrier-free and is suitable for anyone who wants to find out more about nature, landscape and conservation ideas before or during their stay in Saxon Switzerland.
Approximate duration of visit: approx. 1.5 hours.
The telephone route service regarding closures in the national park can be reached on 035022 50240.
Holders of the Saxon Switzerland Guest Card receive a discount of €1 on the admission price.
