Naturresort

Magical Moments for the Whole Family

Located in the heart of the Saxon Switzerland National Park and surrounded by a picturesque natural backdrop, the “WALDGUT” has stood for relaxation, a close connection to nature, and warm hospitality since 1928. We continue this tradition with personal dedication and genuine care for our guests and will reopen in spring 2026.

On 130,000 m² of natural surroundings, a family and adventure hotel with 26 rooms and 64 beds, the WALDGUT restaurant, as well as extensive wellness, seminar, and event areas await – ready to create magical moments and lasting memories for families, couples, and solo travelers.

About our nature resort

Welcome

Our WALDGUT Resort was born from the desire to create a harmonious connection between nature and luxury. The result is a place of strength and experience that invites you to linger.

Values and traditions have formed the foundation of WALDGUT since its cornerstone was laid in 1928. Then as now, it is all about unforgettable experiences in the midst of Saxon Switzerland.

“Nature does nothing in vain!” Honoring this principle, we actively support our homeland and its protection, relying on regional products.

Whether in the dishes in our restaurant, the choice of materials in the hotel, the resort’s heating supply, or the little everyday details – everywhere you will recognize a sense of closeness to nature and environmental awareness.

Enjoy nature. Enjoy the resort. Enjoy our WALDGUT.
