The town Coswig lies, embedded in the Elbe valley basin, on the right bank of the Elbe between Radebeul and Meissen. Coswig has around 20,000 inhabitants, but was only declared a city in 1939.

getting there

Coswig can be reached by car from Dresden either via the right bank of the Elbe (DD-Neustadt) or via the B6 and the bridge at Niederwartha. From the north you can go by roads from Meissen and Weinböhla approach. The former is particularly scenic thanks to its guided tour along the vineyards of the Spaar Mountains.

If you arrive by train, you can use the train from Dresden, Leipzig, Hoyerswerda, Cottbus or Elsterwerda. The stop is south of the city center.

Elberadweg tourists turn right at the ferry in the direction of the river. From there it is about 2km to the city center.
