The WALDGUT Nature Resort is currently under construction. We will be opening our doors to you from Easter 2026.

Familly­ Holidays

Adventure and Relaxation
for the Whole Family

WALDGUT combines quality family time with unforgettable experiences for young and old alike.

While children romp around on the playgrounds or embark on exciting adventures in the surrounding area, parents can enjoy relaxing wellness offers or peaceful moments to themselves.

Nature play areas, our spacious Waldgut garden and family-friendly hiking trails offer plenty of opportunities for discovery. And when the weather isn’t ideal, our little guests can get creative in our experiment kitchen or burn off energy in the playroom.

Exciting excursions to the Königstein Fortress or the Langenhennersdorf Rock Labyrinth complete the stay.
Look forward to a varied family holiday full of adventure and relaxation in the heart of nature!

Marble Run

Discover the World While Rolling Along

Look forward to a unique experience in the heart of our nature resort! Soon, young and old alike will be able to embark on an exciting journey of discovery through nature on our planned marble run. Using a special wooden marble, available directly from us, you’ll set off – the marble winds its way across the WALDGUT grounds along the longest marble run in Saxony.

The tour is accompanied by an informative nature trail along the marble run, offering exciting and educational insights into the nature of Saxon Switzerland.

We are still working on our marble run, but very soon you can look forward to this one-of-a-kind adventure!

Experimental kitchen

Star Chefs and Kitchen Fairies

In our experimental kitchen, culinary discovery takes center stage!

Here, families can experience firsthand how regional delicacies and culinary wonders are created. Together, fruity jams are made from the fruits of our orchard meadows, refreshing lemonades are crafted, and fragrant herbal salts are produced from ingredients grown in our WALDGUT garden.

A special highlight is the honey harvest. Watch how our honey is collected from our own bee colonies, spun, and bottled – and taste it straight from the comb!

Our little guests learn playfully how nature works while the whole family creates delicious memories together.

Visit our “Events” page to see when the next session in our experiment kitchen takes place.
