Just beautiful as the castle is here on its island - if the light is perfect for the photo.

The castle has been the backdrop for fairy tale films several times. Among other things, the filming of the film "Six Come Through the World" (1971), "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" (1972) and the Cinderella film adaptation released in 1989 took place here. In 2004 it served as the backdrop for the romantic comedy “A Princess to Fall in Love with”.

The circular hike on the Königsweg combines the experience of a historical cultural landscape with the Moritzburg hunting lodge in the center and a surrounding varied pond and forest landscape, which was already appreciated by the Saxon electors and kings. The "Königsweg" is a circular hiking trail within the Moritzburg cultural landscape.
