Gohrisch is located in the middle of one of Germany’s most beautiful landscapes – in the Saxon Switzerland National Park (Saxony), which is part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Gohrisch is a state-approved climatic health resort – quiet, small, with a spa park, historic villas, and lots of nature. It has retained its original charm and is considered one of the quieter places in Saxon Switzerland (in contrast to the tourist-crowded Bastei areas).
Gohrisch is a perfect starting point for hikers.
