Travelling by boat:
Boat landing stage in the village with regular services: permanent ferry connections between the village and the railway station (limited at night), longitudinal ferry from Bad Schandau.

Travelling by bike:
The Elbe cycle path on both sides of the Elbe is free. You can cycle on the right bank of the Elbe from Bad Schandau via Rathmannsdorf and Prossen to Königstein-Halbestadt, where you then have to cross over by ferry, as there is no continuous route on this side of the Elbe to the spa town of Rathen.

You can also use the Bad Schandau Bahnhof-Elbkai ferry to change sides of the Elbe.
The ferries in Königstein, Bad Schandau and Krippen are currently free of charge.

Travelling on foot:
Schmilka is located directly on the popular Malerweg hiking trail, which leads directly through Schmilk'sche Mühle!

Travelling by car:
You can reach our hotel by car via the motorway A17 exit "Pirna/ Bad Schandau". Then drive via Pirna Copitz, Lohmen and Rathewalde to Bad Schandau. Then continue along the Elbe to Schmilka.
