Strehla

If you take a leisurely stroll from the market square, past the town hall and the impressive church, you will find yourself heading straight towards Strehla Castle. Surrounded by the accessible Renaissance garden, the castle, which is now privately owned, is one of the oldest cultural monuments in the North Saxon Elbe landscape. In the immediate vicinity: the spacious town park with an open-air stage and Strehla Zoo.

So hardly anyone would claim that there’s nothing going on in Strehla: on the contrary, the mermaids are out and about here! And they bring fun, relaxation and a chance to experience nature to this little town on the Elbe. Here, you can walk along mermaid trails, take a refreshing dip in the Nixenbad, celebrate the annual Mermaid Festival, or stroll to the Nixstein on the Elbe floodplains. The Elbe Cycle Route leads straight there – just one of many ways to get active in and around Strehla. A break in Strehla can therefore be many things: sporty or laid-back, action-packed or completely peaceful. But it’s bound to be a fabulous experience either way.
