Die Lage einmalig ... das Haus hervorragend, supernette Gastgeber ... ein wunderschöner erholsamer Urlaub

For the cost of not much more than a hostel I was able to stay in a nice 1 bedroom apartment located right on the Elbe river. The apartment included a stove so I was able to self-cater. There’s a laundry room downstairs which you can use for a nominal fee (4 Euros for a load). The furnishings aren’t flash but it’s very functional and has everything you need. While Krippen is only a small village it is located close to Bad Schandau which is the transport hub of the area. and has several Super Markets. There’s a really reliable network of public ferries, buses and trains which you can use for free as it’s included in your €3 per day Tourist tax. The owner will give you a card on arrival. Super convenient if you don’t speak German! I was able to do The 112 km Malerweg (Painters Way Path) trail using public transport to reach the start and finish points of the walk each day. Much nicer than camping in the rain. 😅 As previous posts have mentioned the owner is lovely and will go out of his way to make sure everything is right for you. Communication was excellent! This my review reader is a fantastic apartment and you should book it now!

The pillows are a bit on the soft side. I think it’s a German thing.

Very nice, clean place. But what more important - very, very helpful host.

Spotlessly clean apartment with nice owners. I initially drove from river side but owner told me how to get to car park from railway side. He told me to drive to the door to unpack and helped me with big bag. There's a guest card that will allow you to travel free on local bus and ferry. Location was very quiet and pleasant. I would certainly stay there again. You can order fresh bread from bakery by filling the list in the room, which is delivered in the morning. Great value for money.

Some apartments face railway tracks (unavoidable in the whole area on this side of the river), so if you're light sleeper, make sure you book room on the other side of the building. My room was facing East and I could see mountains. Parking was a bit tight for me, but I drive huge car, so can't held it against the owner. Worst case scenario, you can park outside the property if other people park inconsiderately and there's no space left for big car. I would still stay again, regardless of this.
