Year-round campsite in the Kirnitzsch valley, with the tram at the gate, its own inn and guesthouse rooms; from €10 per person per night.

A campsite in the tram valley
The Ostrauer Mühle is an old mill in the Kirnitzsch valley, a few kilometres from Bad Schandau, surrounded by forested slopes. As early as 1808 a guide to Saxon Switzerland spoke of the friendly people of this mill, who gave walkers milk and, in summer, good beer. In 1953 the first tents were pitched here, and today it boasts of being one of the oldest campsites in Germany. It is open all year, in a wide, sunny part of the valley, with a hundred or so pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents. In front stops the Kirnitzschtalbahn, the tram of 1898, and the bus; the Malerweg passes through here, and many routes, including the climb up to the Schrammsteine, start at the very gate.
What it has
Modern heated bathrooms, washing machine and dryer, kitchen, electricity hook-ups, chemical toilet disposal, pitches with water and drainage, an adapted bathroom and a baby bath, and wifi. The Flößerstube inn has a terrace, and from April to October a little food shop opens. If you do not bring a tent, there are also guesthouse rooms with bathroom, balcony and television, apartments and a hostel for groups of walkers.
Prices
Per night: €10 per adult, €6 per child aged 4 to 17 (for families, the third child onwards free), €3 for the car, €5.25 to €7.50 for the tent, €7.50 for the caravan and €9 to €12 for the motorhome depending on length. Electricity costs €3.50, a shower €0.50 for every three minutes, a dog €3.50 and breakfast €14. The tourist tax is separate: €3 from age 16 and €1.50 for ages 7 to 15. A car that is slept in counts as a small motorhome. Check-out is until 12:00.
