Herberge im Tharandter Wald

Germany-01737 Tharandt

Nestled on a meadow right next to the hostel, with direct access, we offer spacious pitches for our campers. Surrounded by the enchanting forest in the valley of the Wild White Elster river, you can truly relax, embark on invigorating hikes, and unwind by the crackling campfire in the evenings. Explore the stunning surroundings directly from the hostel, with inviting hiking trails just waiting to be discovered. If you're seeking international exchange, feel free to connect with the friendly residents of the hostel who will warmly welcome you. However, even if peace and quiet are what you crave, you'll find your sanctuary here, as the secluded camping area is exclusively reserved just for you.

Tharandt's central location offers you a world of possibilities! Beyond the fantastic hiking trails, our capital city, Dresden, is just a 20-minute drive or train ride away, perfect for shopping and, of course, sightseeing. The charming mining town of Freiberg, with its incredible Terra Mineralia Museum, is also well worth a visit and is only about 40 minutes away by car. Even in winter, a visit can be incredibly rewarding! You can reach Altenberg in about 45 minutes by car. If we have enough snow here in winter, it's absolutely worth bringing your cross-country skis to explore the beautiful forest paths. However, we can't guarantee snow.

It was a good place for camping. We had everything. Sometimes could be a bit noisy because of road near by

The overnight spot is perfectly adequate. If you don't have an issue with train and car noise, you can get a good and relaxed night's sleep. Unfortunately, things didn't go well with the key to the house to access the toilet and bathroom—Tony's substitute couldn't find the key, so the house wasn't accessible again until 8:30 AM. However, I think that was an exception.

A super awesome place. I was by myself and was able to let my dog run off-leash thanks to the fenced-in grounds. If you go through a gate at the back of the property, you are right in the nature reserve with plenty of hiking trails. Well – you definitely need good footwear. Tony is an extremely pleasant host who can also share quite a bit about the history of the lodge. If I ever visit this area again, a stop at Tony's is an absolute must. Thanks for everything

Very nice and dedicated host. We really enjoyed the evenings by the campfire and the Tharandt Forest. The pitch had everything we needed and offered plenty of space.
