With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Chemnitz, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Karl Marx Monument, Klaffenbach Moated Castle and Roter Turm Tower. Situated 30 miles away, Naumburg is another popular destination. If you visit, be sure to check out Neuenburg Castle, Rotkaeppchen and Weingut Bernard Pawis.
