Ascend into a fairy-tale world in Augustusburg, a picturesque Saxon hilltop town in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge), where the magnificent Schloss Augustusburg—built 1568–1572 as a Renaissance hunting lodge for Elector Augustus of Saxony—rises in elegant splendor atop a 515-meter plateau with sweeping panoramic views over the rolling hills, forests, and distant Chemnitz valley. Explore the castle’s richly decorated state rooms, the world’s oldest motorcycle museum (with over 150 historic bikes), the fascinating falconry center with daily bird-of-prey shows, and the peaceful baroque gardens, or simply stroll the charming town center with its historic half-timbered houses, cozy cafés, and the nearby Wildpark Augustusburg for close encounters with deer, lynx, and wild boar.
Savor hearty Saxon potato soup, fresh game dishes, sweet Eierschecke cheesecake, and crisp Radeberger beer amid warm Saxon hospitality, crisp mountain air, and the unmistakable sense of a place where royal history meets peaceful Erzgebirge tranquility—perfect as a day trip from Dresden or Chemnitz.
Augustusburg isn’t just a destination—it’s Saxony’s most romantic hilltop castle escape of Renaissance grandeur and forest serenity—plan your Augustusburg adventure today!
