Weinböhla

Nestled in the heart of Dresden Elbland, the sun-kissed village of Weinböhla lies at the foot of the Elbe slopes. You don’t need to be a master detective to decipher the name: in Weinböhla, wine comes first!

You can see this in the historic town centre as well as on the green outskirts: here, vines climb the trellises of the houses; there, towering views open up onto gentle vineyard slopes.

Hundreds of artefacts bearing witness to the local winemaking tradition are on display at the Peterkeller, and cultural life is also shaped by the art of winemaking. The Zentralgasthof, for example, is actually known for concerts, readings and cabaret – yet the stage of the imposing ballroom is also regularly set for fine wines. In addition, the VELOCIUM awaits cycling enthusiasts – an interactive world of experiences centred around the bicycle. And as September approaches, anticipation builds everywhere: with live music, delicacies and, of course, plenty of wine, the whole of Weinböhla celebrates the Winzerstraßenfest.

But it’s not just wine lovers who should stop off in Weinböhla – cyclists will find it well worth a visit too: there are beautiful cycle paths all around, leading, amongst other places, to the popular Elbe Cycle Route. Those who prefer to lace up their walking boots and head for the hills should follow the Saxon Wine Trail through Weinböhla: No fewer than three historic towers invite you to climb them and gaze into the distance. In short: in Weinböhla, active holidays meet relaxation – and wine enjoyment meets panoramic views.
