Saxon Beer Town Radeberg

The beer town of Radeberg is located northeast of Dresden. It is the centre of the Radeberg region and the ideal starting point for interesting excursions into the region.

Radeberg has become known mainly for the large brewery located there, which produced the first beer brewed in Germany using the Pilsner brewing method. In the town you can walk the Beer Town Trail, enjoy the Beer Theatre, visit the brewery and of course enjoy freshly tapped beer.

But there is much more to discover. Around the town you can hike along the Große Röder and the Schwarze Röder, Klippenstein Castle invites you to an interesting visit and the Radeberg distillation and liqueur factory will spoil your palate.

Hotel Kaiserhof in Radeberg and a visit to the Mundart Theatre (vernacular theatre) in Saxony

The Hotel Kaiserhof at the edge of Radeberg’s Old Town is somewhat of a central hub. We were invited to spend a relaxing night there. But not before we had a refresher session for our „language skills“ in the Beer Theatre.

A visit to Castle Klippenstein in Radeberg

Whenever I heard „Radeberg, “ I thought of beer. As it turned that was a big mistake, there is so much more to it than that. For example the Castle Klippenstein.
