Dear guests,

But what is Colditz and its castle like nowadays?
Visitors are often amazed at the rift between imaginary history and reality. Colditz is a small town situated in a valley of castles. Yes, it is right! Apart from Colditz there are a lot of other interesting places to see. Nowhere else in Germany you can find German history concised so close. Some castles are well preserved and offer exhibitions, events and entertainment. Our region belongs to the former Eastern part of Germany and therefor a development in the quality of touristic offers is needed to get on a par with other regions like Black Forrest or Rhine Valley.
