Strand am Kulkwitzer See

The location itself is pretty cool. The ship adds an extra touch to the atmosphere. We had planned to be there earlier, but our daughter's school enrollment took longer than expected, so we arrived a bit late coming from Chemnitz. And that's where the problems began. Unfortunately, there was no welcome champagne for us and our guests at the reception. The buffet had enough options for adults, but there wasn't much to choose from for the children. It was a scorching hot day, and both our guests' children and our own wanted to cool off in the lake. During this time, the coffee and cake buffet with fruit and ice cream was served. However, when we returned after about 20 minutes, almost everything was gone, and there was no more fruit left even after we asked if it would be refilled. It's really disappointing for the kids, especially in the heat. It's such a shame that they couldn't keep refilling the fruit until the end. Considering the amount we paid, which was in the four-digit range, we expected better. Unfortunately, we can only give it three stars. Maybe we'll consider coming back if they're not so stingy with these things next time.
