Mountain View Haven in a Half-Timbered Farmhouse

The holiday flat in Maxen is part of a lavishly renovated half-timbered farm in the charming mountain village of Maxen, around 10 km from Dresden. You have a 12 m² balcony terrace at your disposal. A beautiful pool is available on warm days. You can relax comfortably in the garden and enjoy the marvellous view as far as the peaks of Saxon Switzerland. You can clearly see the Lilienstein and Königstein, two well-known peaks in Saxon Switzerland. The holiday flat in Maxen is located on the ground floor of the half-timbered house with direct access to the garden. There is plenty of space for two people, and a cot for children up to three years old can be provided if required. A spacious living and dining area with access to the 12 m² terrace, a bedroom with two single beds, a fully equipped kitchenette and a shower room with washing machine round off the offer. If the weather is bad, you will find your favourite film in an extensive video and DVD collection. A large TV with satellite reception is available for use, as well as a radio and CD system. Wifi is available. Maxen is famous for its interesting history (the most famous battle in the Seven Years' War - known as the Finckenfang - took place near Maxen) as well as for the beautiful hilly landscape in the foothills of the Eastern Ore Mountains and the bizarre sandstone backdrop of Saxon Switzerland. The Eastern Ore Mountains and Saxon Switzerland are in the immediate vicinity and can be reached by car or train within a very short time. Maxen is a very interesting place, especially from a cultural point of view. Maxen was already a centre for artists in the 19th century. For example, the Danish fairytale poet Hans Christian Andersen and the painters Johann Christian Clausen-Dahl and Caspar David Friedrich were guests at Maxen Castle, which still exists today. In the meantime, an art scene has re-established itself in Maxen with several galleries and cafés. There is the Listhus - a seductive place with imaginatively arranged art objects, the Kunsthof Maxen, in which an extensive seminar programme and a centuries-old ambience inspire artistic work, the castle gallery and probably the smallest museum in Germany - the Lindenmuseum Clara Schumann in Schmorsdorf not far from Maxen. There is another gallery directly on the farm to which the holiday flat belongs: the art depot in Maxen. Here, mainly landscape paintings are shown. All the paintings in the art depot are for sale. Maxen is located south of Dresden. It is only 30 minutes by car to the city centre (about an hour by train), where you can enjoy Dresden's sights (Zwinger, Frauenkirche, Gemäldegalerie) or go shopping (Zentrumsgalerie, Altmarktgalerie). In the evening, Dresden's Neustadt invites you to take a pub crawl. From Maxen you can reach the Osterzgebirge by car on the Müglitztalstraße in about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can take the train to the Mühlbach stop in the valley, which is a quarter of an hour's walk away. In the marvellous forest landscape of the Osterzgebirge, you can go on extensive hiking tours in an area that is very well developed for tourism. Tranquil places such as Geising or Bärenfels invite you to take a tour. In winter, you can go skiing and tobogganing in Altenberg. Altenberg lies at an altitude of around 700 metres and is very snow-sure.
