Overall, it was a really great experience and a lot of fun! The fun factor depends a lot on the weather, but that's to be expected with a scavenger hunt! It's great that you can use the spa/guest card to travel on both the ferry and the Kirnitzschtalbahn for free, which is an experience in itself! The tasks weren't too difficult either, so children could solve them too! We saw lots of beautiful places and were made aware of interesting things - the lynx is no longer there, however, which is better for the lynx given the size of the enclosure. All in all, it was a great success and a great experience!

A really great location, we didn't know where to look first. Everything was done with great attention to detail. Great musical entertainment. Food and drinks of the highest quality. And the team puts a lot of heart and dedication into it. We'd love to come back. Many thanks to the lovely Angela and team.

We had a lot of fun. If we had just strolled through Bad Schandau, we wouldn't have seen or done a lot of things. A tip for everyone: always have the slip of paper for the paid tourist tax with you. This will allow you to travel a lot for free in order to get to the next answer.

On the first day of our stay, we explored the town of Bad Schandau and the surrounding area with our children (13 and 16). It was fun and we saw beautiful places and got information that gave a quick but informative insight. Great!

The whole family enjoyed the tour! Well thought out with spots we wouldn't have seen otherwise. We will also book other tours :)
