What we'll do
During the tour we walk around the Moritzburg Palace grounds admiring the garden and the park views. We do not enter the palace but we get a close-up look. On the steps of the palace is also a chance for everyone to find out if they have what it takes to be a fairytale princess by trying on Cinderella’s shoe.
About Moritzburg Palace
Moritzburg Palace is named after Duke Moritz of Saxony who built a small hunting lodge here in the 16th century. The king August II the Strong had the current Baroque-style palace built in the 18th century as his country seat.The palace is surrounded by a stunning park and gardens area. Ironically, none of the plans (and there have been many) for the garden have been fully finished, and the work with them is still continuing.
Take in the breathtaking views of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains at one of its most famous sights - the Bastei Bridge.

We had a good time for the tour. However, we missed the site in the national park due to wildfire. It would be better if you keep us posted of the travel situation regarding the site we were to visit.
