10 Things to Do in Pirna That You Shouldn't Miss

November 20, 2017 Kelli Reichel

Pirna (Upper Sorbian: Pěrno) is a town in the Free State of Saxony, Germany, capital of the administrative district Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge. The town's population is over 37,000. Pirna is located near Dresden and is an important district town as well as a Große Kreisstadt. It is also known for the gassing of about 15,000 disabled people in Sonnenstein Castle between June 1940 and August 1941, killings which ceased after pressure was exerted on the authorities by the local population. Today, a small plaque at the base of Sonnenstein Castle and the Sonnenstein Memorial remembers the dead.

DDR Museum Pirna

Reviewed By Magdalena C - Cartersville, Georgia

As I lived in the eastern part of Europe until 2001, this visit was a confirmation that life in the DDR was very similar to Romania. Luckily we speak German so we could understand all commentaries and explanations. It is a good thing for the younger generation to go visit.

Stadtkirche St. Marien

Reviewed By permia - Ireland

It is only a short walk from the attractive Am Markt to this great church. It gloriously dominates Kirchplatz. We walked up the steps leading to Schloss Sonnenstein. This gives great views over Pirna and particularly the red-roofed Marienkirche with its eye-like features.
The church interior is wonderful. The net-vault ceiling is awe-inspiring. The high and immensely decorative altar is delightful. Other notable features are the baptismal font and the high placed organ.

Elberadweg

The temptation of a special experience - a bicycle ride along the Elbe. The Elbe cycle path is one of the most attractive and varied cycling routes in Europe. The region between the North Sea, Saxon Switzerland and Bohemia is distinguished by multifaceted landscapes, exciting history and a unique cultural heritage.

Reviewed By Kirsten E - Karratha, Australia

Very picturesque cycle way along the Elbe river, some of which was damaged by flood waters. The worst part of the ride was the actual signage which needs to be renewed (a lot of signs are quite faded).

Pirna-Sonnenstein Memorial

Reviewed By permia - Ireland

We are very interested in the history of the places we visit so we wished to see this sobering memorial. It is located in the lovely town of Pirna, in the former fortress area.
The museum is located in the basement of the building where the original atrocities were carried out. We found the memorial and exhibits very moving giving a detailed and graphic account of the incomprehensible horrors that took place here.
There are photographs and a little biography of some of the victims. Touchingly there is a collection of the personal possessions, including a comb and mouth organ. On some of the paving stones in front of the building a cross has been painted in different colours.

Richard-Wagner Monument

Reviewed By VolkmarEb - Radebeul, Germany

Das Wagner-Denkmal befindet sich im sog. Liebethaler Grund. Das Denkmal ist ausgeschildert. Am Zugang zum Tal gibt es einen kleinen Parkplatz. Ein Weg führt etwas steil hinab in das Tal. Hier gelangt man in einen wunderschönen, hochromantischen Abschnitt des Malerweges. Im Sommerhalbjahr hat ein Ausflugslokal geöffnet. Nach ca. 600 m erreicht man das imposante Richard-Wagner-Denkmal. Auf Knopfdruck kann man sogar an einem Lautsprecher Musik von Wagner hören. Der Liebethaler Grund ist wirklich überwältigend schön. Ein teilweise reißender Flusslauf, kleine Staustufen, Wasserfälle, inmitten eines tiefen Tales - wunderbar!
