Schmilka is an unique cultural experience, made for a healthy pleasure vacation in the middle of nature!

Sachsen – Saxon Switzerland in Germany

Fascination National Park – see the nature naturally in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Located in Saxony, is the National Park Germany’s last unspoilt uniquely beautiful fluvial landscape. Bizarre sand stone forms, high table mountains, rugged rocks, gorges, flumes, crystal-clear rivulets and towering free-standing summits are the reason why this holiday area is a great eldorado for hiking and climbing fans (Saxon Switzerland is the cradle of free climbing).
Right in the middle of the Saxon Switzerland you will find the romantic village of former skippers called Schmilka. The view of Schmilka is made up of traditional timbered houses. The most attractive of these is the water mill built in 1665. Schmilka is close to nature and absolutely idyllic! But it is also not far from the big cities Dresden, Meissen and Prague.
Schmilka is located on the border with Böhmen (Bohemia), which is why you can go on foot from here not only to explore the Sächsische Schweiz, Saxon Switzerland, but also the Böhmische Schweiz, Bohemian Switzerland.

The hosts, Gino and Silvana, have transformed the place of silence into a lovingly designed agriturismo, where they spoil their guests with fine food from their own farm.
 
During the renovation in 1990, they paid attention to the preservation of the three natural materials (stone, wood and brick). The picturesque Bioagriturismo La Cerqua was created with beautiful rooms as well as very welcoming common spaces: dining room, reading room, organic bar with veranda. Particularly characteristic rooms are made of the old barn and the country house Balucca in the heart of the farm.
 
Relax around the sunny, acorn-shaped swimming pool or in the shady archery area under the oaks. Discover the secrets of the forest with the help of the multilingual information boards; or make unforgettable walks in the Pietralunga forest (alone, with Gino or with Fabio on horseback). At the end of the day you can relax in a cozy atmosphere and learn the secrets of traditional cuisine and enjoy finely prepared dishes made by Silvana.
