The leisure parks in Saxony have drawn a mixed balance for the summer season. Longer periods of rain during the public holidays and the Saxon summer vacation meant fewer visitors in some places. Meanwhile, new attractions are being worked on.
However, the operators of Karls Erdbeerhof in Döbeln were extremely satisfied. "We welcomed around one million guests in our first financial year," said founder and managing director Robert Dahl on request. That was significantly more than expected. That is why further investment is now planned. Visitors can look forward to a family roller coaster next summer.
August was also a successful month at Saurierpark and Plohn Leisure Park. The Plohn amusement park in Vogtland attributed this to the summer vacations in nearby Bavaria and the Czech Republic, among other things - numerous guests traveled to Saxony during this time. The Saurierpark referred to the summer vacation in Brandenburg. Neither park gave specific visitor numbers. The Belantis amusement park near Leipzig also did not initially release any figures.
