Simply the most amazing castle experience we have ever seen. We spent 4 hours but you could scip the reading and just go for the view in probably one hour and if you want to read and experience everything and eat here you can easily spend 6-7 hours.

The Hike up to this Fortress is amazing and a lot of Fun. It was well worth it to Hike up. You can drive your car to the Car park but that is no real fun. You have great views of the surrounding area. They have a bunch Restaurants where you can get Beer and Food. Lots of interesting History and Exhibits. This Fortres is huge. Really fun to explore the entire complex. We spend several hours up there

Amazing structure, nice walk, beautiful views. Very interesting 😎. The not so good thing was the parking. There is a parking building in the base of the hill, but we went with my dad who has a disability and can't walk properly so we went up with the car, parked there and left his Disability ID in the glass of the car. No signal that says that u can't park there. And 5 min before get to the car to leave, this guy came in a car and left a ticket and just said "Sie können dort nicht parken". So we had to pay 55 euros ticket 🙄.

Königstein Fortress is one of the largest hilltop fortifications in Europe, with over 800 years of history. Perched high above the Elbe River, it has never been conquered—a true testament to its impressive design and strategic location. If you’re visiting Dresden, don’t skip this experience. I booked a combo tour with the Bastei Bridge by bus, and it made for a perfect day trip. You can also reach Königstein by bus or car if you prefer going on your own. The entrance ticket to the fortress was €12 and absolutely worth it. I also joined a guided tour inside for €6, which I highly recommend—it really brought the history of the site to life. The tour was in German, but if you ask, you can get an English audio guide, which is very helpful. The entire visit was informative, scenic, and well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, architecture, or just stunning views.

Enormous! Plan for an entire day! If you stay in the area, you get a local visitor pass for public transport. Figure out a spot along the bus 241 line and park your car there (Struppen in our case). The bus takes you to the fortress, the return trip starts one stop down the mountain. Audio tour is free on your phone, a handset can be had for €2. Do NOT get an ice cream at the small stand on the eastern perimeter.. It is a tourist trap. Get a big smooth soft ice on the main square inside the fortress for less. We spent most of an afternoon walking around the outside of the fortress and regretted not taking more time for it.

Beautiful views from the top. Tons of excebitions and history to read on. Needs whole day for full proper visit.

Great experience. Make sure you’re ready for a lot of walking. The directions/signage could be better, so be sure to get a map to help you navigate around this vast site.

(Translated by Google) I expected more from the name... The place is lovingly designed and laid out and invites you to linger. Maybe my expectations are too high and my words are based on disappointment because I expected more... I think this place is worth visiting... (Original) Ich hatte vom Namen her mehr erwartet...

Delicious food, even though a bit pricey, and lovely service! Totally recommended.

Food was great. Quick service. Nice ambiance.

Great food, fair prices, accept credit card and paid parking just over the bridge (Vasily's review is a bit outdated)

Service was good. The soup was a little more salty but good. Radler beer good. What was not good, however, was the main dish. Burnt potatoes/ rosti. The food doesnt make any sense. Why add sweet annas to a side of chicken? The pepper sauce was made from powder. I definitely do not recommend it if you don’t want to feel like you have a stone in your stomach after the visit.

This was the weirdest meal I've ever got on plate - Königsteiner art schnitzel or something like that. Meal itself is just a nonsense - schnitzel, cauliflower, ham, cheese and Holland sauce. It's written on the menu but I didn't expect it in such a form. OK maybe people there like this kind of bizarre food. But my schnitzel was burned, side dish was burned and cauliflower too, so I was sad about this food. I don't really understand all those 5 stars reviews. Soup was fine, servis was fine.

The sauce is a little bit salty, but the pork is great and the asparaguses with bacon taste fantastic!

We had teriyaki chicken and salmon with gnocci and both dishes were delicious, the service is excellent, strongly recommend !!

Self-service, food was not bad. We sat inside the rustic restaurant, but there's also a beer garden facing towards the central buildings (housing museums, restored commandant's flat and other precious objects.

Great spot for food if you are hungry, line was pretty long on a Sunday afternoon moving slow. Seating outside and inside. Washrooms available.

I had a very disappointing experience at this place. A particularly rude staff member made the visit unpleasant — he was unwelcoming, openly rude, and clearly not suited to dealing with non-German speaking tourists. On top of that, the prices were absurd: €6.30 for a small, poor-quality cappuccino and similarly overpriced and dry desserts. I would strongly recommend avoiding this place if possible.

The interior is authentic and extremely cozy. The food was delicious, although the lentil soup was a bit too sweet. The bread was extremely dry. We were a little surprised that 2 glasses of soda (not bottled) cost 9.8 Euros.

A cute old cafe with cozy vibes and Perfect ambience. Was expensive.

Very tasty food and good atmosphere.

Nice ambience, but way overpriced for the instant meals they offer. The local beer is good but also expensive. I was expecting more.

Staying at a nearby place, we were looking for a restaurant to grab a bite. We found this place on maps and decided to walk by and see if there was any place and they did! We ordered a stew and a schnitzel, which both were very tasty. It was a great meal to end the day for an affordable price too. Definitely recommend!

We booked at Amtshof rather late, but we got a small room at a decent price, close to Königstein Castle. The staff were really kind and helpful, they managed our late arrival at our check-in day, and we could leave our backpack at some place on the last day, while we were exploring nearby sights. Our room was in the attic, though, and unfortunately we often bumped our heads in the sloped ceiling. Some lights were missing or not operational, and one mattress in a double bed was 10 cm smaller than the other one (and my partner's leg). Otherwise the room was very clean and tidy.

We were looking for a place to eat after our visit to Koenigstein Fortress, and this was perfect. They were open on Sunday till 2 pm. Great friendly service and delicious German food. I recommend the jagersnitzel.

Fantastically delicious, if you want to eat normal food, not pasta or pizza - strongly recommend. Ate only there while stayed at Königstein

Great ang delicious german food. Kind staff. A bit slow service.

The service and the food is great. I visited this restaurant quite a few times. (There aren't too many options in Königstein.) I would definitely visit again.

After traversing an arduous section of the painters way, what a privilege it was to find a path to this forest of flavour. In this forest, plates of food glow like an autumn canopy and the staffs kindness shines straight into your heart. My belly is full, as is my soul.

We visited for the fire and light show. It was a super show. Fire from the volcano to start it off. The illuminations around the park were lovely and very well done. The evening finished with a great laser and fire display. It was also great value.

The park is nothing special but good for 2-3 hours of fun. Our 6-year-old had a great time. Staff were friendly and helpful. Price is ok.

I would like to rate this place 3 stars. Why? 1. The price is not cheap for such small park. Some activities needs to pay extra. Not really good experience. 2. The maintainance of most equipment is not so good. Some of them seems long time no clean and maintain. 3. Activities are not enough. Good to stay but not recommend to come for it.

My kids (6 and 8 years) had so much fun that we went there again the next day, and the entry on the second day was free! Amazing! Very relaxed atmosphere, with an extra bonus of comfy lawn chairs for tired parents :)

We go there almost every two weeks in each sommer. My kids loves this place and the spend very nice time there. Time goes very quickly as we enjoy it very much. Too many things to do and to try so you cannot finish everything in one day. Prices are very accepatble compared to what you get. Actionzone is amazing and have so much exciting things to do. The view on the Elbe and the mountens behind is breathtaking. It is just wonderful.

Way to overpriced for what you get. There isn't enough to do to keep you busy to justify the price. 10.30 am and half of the activities were still closed. There is a coffee vending machine, but you only get cups at the coffee shop, which was still closed.

Amazing place for families! Lots of fun for kinds and sporty futures available. Cars, trums, watter balls, water boats, batuts, children's slide, numbers of Dresden's sightseeings layouts, and (!) an owls show where you can learn about the birds from instructor, see them as close as in front of yourself and even touch the birds! They also have the action park side, which was unfortunately temporary closed due some technical reasons. Besides that there are also camping territory with access to the beach of Elbe. Take a camera with you, go there on weekends, and you will easily spend 3-4 hours or even the whole day having lots of fun. P.S: summer terrace where you could grab some food was also temporary closed. Better call them prior your visit and ask if you can buy any foods inside, otherwise take something zum mitnehmen ☺!

Nice location to see the Elbe valley in miniature. Trains are riding, change of loc of a train in the border station is imitated in detail. The staff is very friendly. But some of the houses of the lay out are not very detailed, could be better. But it is certainly worth while a visit.

Nice to see, price for value is high

(Translated by Google) Lovingly designed facility with beautiful details. Our dwarves were thrilled, especially that they could follow a "wish train" across the entire complex. The locomotive lift is interesting and you don't usually see it at exhibition facilities. The employees are super nice and provide information about everything. As a club you definitely have to pay for the expensive facility yourself, so I'm happy to pay the entrance fee!! Keep it up!! (Original) Liebevoll gestaltete Anlage mit schönen Details. Unsere Zwerge waren begeistert, vor allem, dass sie einem "Wunsch-Zug" über die gesamte Anlage folgen konnten. Interessant der Lok-Lift, den man so auf Schauanlagen sonst nicht sieht. Die Mitarbeiter sind super-nett und geben über alles Auskunft. Als Verein trägt man die kostenintensive Anlage sicher selbst, da zahle ich den Eintritt gerne!! Macht weiter so!!

(Translated by Google) The Elbe Valley from Bad Schandau to Stadt Wehlen presents a nice model railway. A nice railway station with a lot of details is definitely worth a visit. However, there are also a number of unfinished buildings and parts that will surely require a lot of work. Entrance fee for an adult is 8 EUR. The workshop is right in front of the building. Entrance outside the neighboring Elbe-Freizeitland theme park. (Original) Pěkné modelového kolejiště představuje Labské údolí od Bad Schandau po Stadt Wehlen. Pěkné kolejiště s hodně detaily určitě stojí za návštěvu. Je tu ale i řada nedokončených budov a částí, které dají jistě ještě hodně práce. Vstupné pro dospělého je 8 EUR. Prakoviště je přímo před budovou. Vstup mimo sousední zábavní park Elbe-Freizeitland.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful layout that shows the Elbe Valley Railway in the 1960s and 1970s. Highly recommended. The layout is only open on weekends from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Original) Eine sehr schöne Anlage, die, die Elbtalbahn in den 1960er/1970er Jahren zeigt. Sehr Empfehlenswert. Die Anlage ist nur am Wochenende von 10:00 Uhr bis 18:00 Uhr geöffnet.

(Translated by Google) A wonderfully constructed mini-land with a very interesting railway. A must-see for model railway enthusiasts, and a delight for those interested. A must-see. (Original) Wunderbar aufgebautes Miniland, mit einen sehr interessanten Eisenbahn. Für modelleinsenbahner ein Muss, für Interessierte ein Genuss. Das muss man gesehen haben.

(Translated by Google) Beautifully done. Very exciting for children, as they can peek behind the scenes and get up close and personal. There's also a small railway layout that you can even control yourself, including setting the switches. The people at the club are open-minded and friendly and are happy about the interest in the layout, which is truly detailed and true to the original. It's worth a visit! (Original) Wunderschön gemacht. Für Kinder sehr spannend, da sie auch "hinter die Kulissen" schauen können und ganz nah dran sind. Dazu kommt eine kleine Bahnanlagen, die man sogar selbst steuern kann, inkl. Weichenstellungen. Die Leute des Vereins sind aufgeschlossen und freundlich und freue sich über das Interesse an der Anlage, die wirklich detailliert und originalgetreu ist. Der Besuch lohnt sich!

The lady at the table next to us was coughing a lot. When we wanted to change the table we were told that we either sit where we were assigned or to go outside (even though there were other available tables). The personnel were terribly rude.

We really enjoyed our time in this little restaurant on the top of Lilienstein. The menu is simple but sufficient. The prices are rather high but it's understandable in these conditions. The meals were tasty and the waitress was very kind, friendly and attentive.

Lovely place. Just asked the service I could throw away some bottles into their recycling and after a plesant exchange of remarks, the service actually physically attacked me. 100% would recommend to anyone looking to throw hands after a lovely hike ❤️

It's a nice cafe on top of Lilienstein. Some of the young staff here were very friendly, and we had a nice chit chat. Their coffee was also good!

Food basic, but it’s at the top of a mountain, a lot better than no food! And I get draught beer, bliss

Staff was super friendly and we had a good time until we had to pay. We didn't realise there was a minimum of 25 Euro for card payments. This is illegal in Germany and should be reported (wettbewerbszentrale.de, Bank or call the police), which I mentioned to her. We don't carry cash with us. We were talked into paying an additional ~2,50 Euro to offset the transaction fees. The explanation was that they have "very old contracts" with high transaction fees. That's not the customers problem. Again, friendly staff which was also the only reason I didn't escalate this further. Next time the police should be called to settle it.

We had a pleasant time here. The service we received was first class. The staff are very friendly and I saw how they had time to talk to everyone. The food was lovely too. There was a good selection of food and we learned some interesting facts about the place. I also liked that there is a brief history of the Lilienstein in the menu. ALL the facilities are clean and well maintained. Everything comes up by a lift and the staff make the same climb up the mountain as their customers. It is a lovely place with amazing views.
