Sightseeing in Pillnitz
Maria on the Water in Hosterwitz
Travel the waterways like royalty. While August the Strong traveled to his pleasure palace Pillnitz in a gondola, today guests reach the asian-inspired palace with the paddle- wheel steamboats comprising the "white fleet".

Enjoy a peaceful ride or hop aboard the Dixie-playing steamboats for a unique experience. When the small church Maria on the Water in Hosterwitz comes into view, the towers of the palace in Pillnitz are already visible.
The gardens and park provided the backdrop for extravagant galas held at the whims of the Prince Elect as he often chose. Naturally anyone of importance in the day was invited, but the ladies were given special attention.
