Winter magic in the adventure village of Taura: A weekend full of highlights!

Taura, a small village on the edge of the Dahlener Heide in northern Saxony, has developed into an interesting destination for visitors in recent years. At the end of the 1990s, the vision of the "adventure village of Taura" was created, which the villagers put into practice with the help of funding from the leader program. The adventure village includes some attractions that attract both locals and tourists.

The highlights include a village oven that is regularly used for the preparation of sourdough breads and cakes, as well as a riding stable that houses around 60 horses and attracts over 100 riders at the weekend. There is also a gift and stationery shop as well as four restaurants, including restaurants, an ice cream parlor and a bowling alley. A 92-year-old initiator of the adventure village is actively committed to the village museum, which was also created from funding.

The village museum is committed to preserving village history and aims to remember life in the village in the past. The focus is on agriculture and craft, with guided tours explaining the connection to historical results in the village. Since its opening in September 2006, many visitors, including guests of family celebrations, have visited the museum from the VHS, guests in the holiday park as well as cycling tourists and interested individuals from the VHS. The museum has an archive on local history, which has been set up since 2015 and comprises the work of the local chronicler since 2004, as Erlebnisdorf Taura

The adventure village also offers numerous other activities. The village adventure barn attracts groups who want to attend training on domestic nature. In addition, an animal enclosure with goats, red deer, ponies and rabbits is a popular attraction.
