Saxon Switzerland in miniature
Want to see all the sights of Saxon Switzerland in one day? This is possible in the "Little Saxon Switzerland" miniature park in Dorf Wehlen! On 8,000 square metres of park space, diverse, lovingly detailed scenes made of local sandstone and filigree model making invite you to stroll, marvel and smile.
Master stonemason and sculptor Jan Lorenz and his family combine craftsmanship with art in their miniature park. The most important buildings in the region can be found here, as well as the most striking rock formations and legendary means of transport. Most of the scenes come to life at the touch of a button. For example, the Kirnitzschtal railway sets off here, a carnival procession marches past, blasting takes place in the quarry and elsewhere the Richard Wagner monument, which originally stands in Liebethaler Grund, appears dramatically with fog, light and music from the depths.
A highlight for railway enthusiasts is the 1st German miniature mountain railway, which transports passengers 900 metres through the park. A steam locomotive is even used on special occasions! In the show workshop, visitors can experience how new miniatures, decorative items and commissioned works are created from sandstone.
Experience the beauty of Saxon Switzerland in miniature in charming surroundings and take about 1 hour for the tour. Afterwards, you can purchase souvenirs.
Take advantage of the paid car and coach park just a 10-minute walk away. After your visit, you can treat yourself to culinary delights in the neighbouring restaurant.

Sea of lights in Advent
On several Advent weekends and between Christmas and New Year's Eve, the entire park is romantically decorated and effectively illuminated after dark. The "Christmas in the Little Saxon Switzerland Miniature Park" programme includes Advent crafts, a gnome quiz and rides on the gnome express. There are also Christmas treats and warm drinks.Colour bathing
The miniature landscape of Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland is bathed in a frenzy of colours and a wonderful nocturnal glow during the colour bathing, which takes place several times a year. In the darkness of the evening, the filigree rock formations and sights become the backdrop for a light and laser show as well as a video performance. Over 140 network-controlled LED spotlights transform the park planted with bonsais beneath the old quarry wall into a veritable sea of lights and lend it a romantic flair. There are also various smaller laser illuminations and fog sources that create additional effects. Numerous artists entertain the audience at this novel light spectacle. Fire pits underneath the quarry wall create a romantic campfire atmosphere. Night-time rides on the park railway become a completely new experience in the dark.Experience the beauty of Saxon Switzerland in miniature in charming surroundings and take about 1 hour for the tour.
