Kunsthaus am Malerweg – Sommerwirtschaft am Schützenhaus

Unique experience. Warm welcome and top location close to the natural beauty of Saxon Switzerland. Thanks Chritopher for the very human interactions and discussions about your artistic work! We highly recommend the Kunsthaus, especially if you are looking for an affordable accommodation!

Amazing for those seeking an artistic adventure. This hostel is an experience on its own. Entering the house filled with provocative and exquisite painting, one's senses is overwhelmed. This house feels out of the world with it's abandoned artists workshop vibe. Hygiene of the house is not good, especially the toilets, and people with dust and mold allergy should avoid. However, the gorgeous art pieces and unique soul of the house makes the overall experience a memorable one. Friendly and easy going host, great views from a high point, but tiring hike up long and steep slope. Not for someone with mobility issues or a need for physical comfort or cleanliness.

A very lucky find after long hike in the rain, we could pitch up our tent on one of the terraces. Toilets and showers are inside this amazing building (once a hunting lodge, dancehall and bar) now an open atelier with paintings everywhere you look. Host is friendly and speaks enough languages that communication is no problem. Rooms still have that Eastern European vibe that adds to its charm. Yes it could be cleaner but if you’re hiking out in the woods, well we didn’t mind. Toilets and showers are clean with a very outdated charm of creative DIY If you’re traveling alone it’s also a great place to meet and talk about art😊
