Sundays many of the restaurants are closed! 1 ­­​

S1​
provides a ​
substitute bus connection ​
after ​
7:45pm​
... so if you’re not staying in Coswig or at the camping ground you will have to use the substitute bus and make a connection in "Radebeul Ost" to the S1​
(same applies when you're coming into Coswig from Dresden, you have to change from the S1 train to the bus in at Radebeul Ost). So we recommend to take the tram at night. The last ​
Tram 4​
to Dresden ​
leaves at ​
2:49​
am in the morning. In case the train company "Deutsche Bahn" will be on strike, you will have to take the tram during the day as well. The ride with the ​
Tram 4​
takes 40 minutes during day and ­ we think, only 30 minutes during night! Tram 4​
leaves in Coswig at "​
Coswig Zentrum Börse​
". from Dresden​
towards Coswig take direction "​
Weinböhla​
" from Coswig​
towards Dresden take direction "​
