It was 5 great days in the Kirnitzschtal. The rooms have been lovingly renovated and furnished. The mattresses are a dream.The food as part of the half board was great. Fresh fruit salad and egg dishes for breakfast. The sausage and cheese platter was varied and lovingly designed.Even the vegetarians among us got their money's worth at dinner.Various hiking routes start right outside the door and the tram to Bad Schandau runs every 30 minutes.The WLAN and the internet are not quite as powerful, but you don't need it given the many impressions.

I took the Kirnitzschtalbahn from Bad Schandau to the final stop at Lichtenhainer Wasserfall. The restaurant is also located right next to the bus stop. Seating inside and outside, although outside was already limited due to the season. The guest room is comfortably furnished. The toilet has recently been modernized. Everything still looked very new and clean. There is a machine for charging mobile phones in the anteroom of the toilets. The food was very good! The service was also very good! I was only a day tourist and therefore cannot rate the rooms.

A very atmospheric place located at the last station of the historical railway, right next to the waterfall. The cuisine is very tasty, many vegetarian dishes, a large selection of desserts. The service in Polish was a pleasant surprise - fortunately, because the card was only in German :)
