Are you currently at the entrance sign in Rathen?
Then you are almost there – but unfortunately still on the wrong side of the Elbe.
The spa town of Rathen is car-free.
Our Steiger Hotels are located in Niederrathen.
Therefore, direct access by car to the hotel is not possible.
Where to park now
Please drive to:
Oberrathen Parking, Elbweg 13-15, 01824 Rathen
Why is this the case?
Rathen is a special place – tranquil, close to nature, and deliberately car-free.
This is precisely what makes a stay here so relaxing. To preserve this concept, car access ends on the opposite side of the Elbe.
What happens next
Drive to the parking lot in Oberrathen
Park your vehicle there
Go to the ferry towards Niederrathen – the ferry operates as a shuttle service, and your booking confirmation allows for the first crossing
From there, you can easily reach our hotels on foot
We look forward to welcoming you and wish you a pleasant onward journey.
A brief note on orientation
The special location in Rathen is not a spontaneous detour, but part of the journey.
We inform you about this before your arrival – including:
- immediately after booking (e.g., via Booking.com)
- in our pre-stay information
- in the image galleries of our hotels
This way, you can plan your arrival in a relaxed manner.
Should you still have ended up here: No problem – you are only a few minutes away from the correct path.
