Oberlausitzer Sechsstädtebund for families

First and foremost, "Nathan the White" and the "Ring Parable" are associated with difficult school material. The "Lessing Museum" in Kamenz is certainly a good place to introduce older children to these subjects outside the classroom. Or on an entertaining walk through Lessing's small but beautiful birthplace along the stages of his childhood. But Kamenz also offers special experiences away from world literary themes. For example, you can climb one of the historic observation towers or visit the Museum der Weslausitz with its "Elementarium", a landscape museum for the whole family. On a journey through time from the past to the present, visitors are expressly encouraged to touch and participate. Another insider tip for the little ones: The legend of the good Sorbian sorcerer's apprentice "Krabat" can be experienced on a playground of the same name right next to the old town.
