Discover life in the late Middle Ages high on the hill at Kriebstein Castle, marvel at the unique Renaissance architecture of Klaffenbach Moated Castle, or dive into the World War II era with a multimedia experience at the former Colditz Castle prisoner-of-war camp. A visit to the historic walls of Rochsburg Castle can be wonderfully paired with savoring delightful chocolate creations from “Choco Del Sol” in Rochsburg. With special discovery tours, hands-on activities, and guided tours, younger visitors are guaranteed never to get bored either.
