At the piers all trips will be shown on displays - there you will also find out exactly at which pier your boat trip starts.
The boarding starts 15 minutes before the departure of the ship with free choice of seats on board.
station Radebeul
The station Radebeul is located directly below the restaurant "Dampfschiff" (downstream right) - the small town is located on the Saxon Wine Route between vineyards just outside Dresden. Here, a visit to the Karl May Museum (Karl-May-Strasse 5), the last home of the writer, is worthwhile. Explore the historic center of Alt-Kötzschenbroda with small stores and vineyards in romantic courtyards. The famous Wackerbarth Castle is also within easy walking distance.
station Meissen
The station Meißen is located directly at the large visitor parking lot of the city (Hochuferstraße, downstream left) directly below the Albrechtsburg.
Even from a distance you will discover the silhouette of the city - it is picturesquely surrounded by hills in the Elbe valley and is dominated by the castle hill. Stroll through the 1000-year-old old town with its town houses, its staircases, portals, narrow streets and historic wine taverns.
Among the famous Meissen sights are the Franciscan Church (now a city museum), the Church of Our Lady with the world's first built-in carillon made of Meissen porcelain (1929), the Burgberg with Albrechtsburg Castle and the cathedral.
