NATURAL BEAUTY ON DRESDEN’S DOORSTEP
Magical: The manicured Moritzburg landscape
Saxony is bathed in baroque beauty and Moritzburg Castle is one of the best examples. But exploring its forested surrounds and their ever-changing perspectives is the best way to bring home just how special it really is.
Diverse: parklands of history; fairy-tale castles
The Moritzburg estate north of Dresden, wide and expansive, is a listed and well-tended area that bursts with beauty from any angle. Alongside abundant woodland lie parks and gardens, tranquil lakes with islands and numerous historical buildings as architectural treasure troves. Nowadays, this area is one of the nation’s finest baroque hunting lodges and grounds, showcasing the very finest landscape gardening and art history at every turn.
