Top Nature in Saxony

If you're into biking, I suggest renting a bike for the day. It’s an awesome way to explore the park, and there's so much to see. Just watch out for the occasional jogger though; they can sneak up on you!

If you want to escape the crowds, visit on a weekday. I went on a Saturday and it was packed, but when I returned on a Tuesday, I had the place almost to myself!

Definitely wear sturdy shoes! The path can get slippery and uneven close to the caverns. I slipped a bit, and it was no fun. A good grip on your shoes will make exploring so much easier.

Plan your route based on the animal map you get at the entrance. I missed a few cool exhibits because I wandered aimlessly for too long!

Plan to explore the surrounding area too! There are some lovely hiking trails and a park nearby that make for a perfect day out after the caves.

I recommend buying your tickets online beforehand. It saved me a good chunk of time, and I skipped the long queue.

I recommend taking a stroll around 3 PM when the crowds thin out. It's much easier to enjoy the flowers without bumping into tons of tourists, trust me.
