Paulsdorf is ideal for travellers who want to combine a stay by the water with a specific detail of cultural history. At the lido, shallow water access and water sports take centre stage; the Paulsdorf wayside shrine offers a different focus. The distinctions below can help you decide what to prioritise during a stay in Paulsdorf.

Lido and SUP station

The Paulsdorf lido offers good, shallow access to the water, which is especially beneficial for children. The beach area includes sand, large straw parasols and beach loungers. The entrance to the lido leads directly to the stand-up paddleboarding station. This offers a choice of activities to suit different interests: shallow water access, time in the beach area or a first paddleboarding experience. If you are travelling with children, the explicitly shallow access is an important difference when choosing where to swim.

Swimming and boating

The Malter Reservoir leisure pool has a 25-metre swimming pool with three lanes. If you prefer swimming laps to spending time in the beach area, you can use the pool length and number of lanes as specific points of comparison. Boat hire is also available at the Paulsdorf swimming area, provided lifeguards are present. If you would like to include a boat trip in your day’s plans, bear this condition in mind before making boat hire a fixed part of your day. This makes it easy to distinguish between the pool, lido and boat hire based on the water activity you want.

Staying overnight and getting there

The Paulsdorf campsite is right next to the lido. For travellers considering camping, this direct proximity is a useful point of reference. If you want to include swimming in your plans for the day, you can take the campsite’s location in relation to the lido into account when choosing where to stay.

The Paulsdorf district, with its campsite, outdoor swimming pool and indoor leisure pool, lies on the opposite side of Malter railway station. If you are using the station as a reference point for your journey, check the railway operator’s latest information. On 29 April 2026, the Saxon State Media Service reported the opening of a pedestrian and cycle bridge in Paulsdorf. While the bridge is for pedestrian and cycle traffic, Malter railway station serves as a reference point for rail travellers arriving in the area.

The Paulsdorf wayside shrine

The Paulsdorf wayside shrine is a sandstone column with four reliefs. They depict Christ crucified, his mother Mary and his beloved disciple John. The number of reliefs and the named figures give the monument a specific visual programme. For visitors interested in culture, the focus is therefore on a single, clearly defined motif that offers a different perspective from the lido, swimming pool and water sports. If you would like to include sacred art in your trip, you can consider the wayside shrine as a cultural highlight when choosing your activities.
