From the A17, take the exit to “Pirna” and follow the signs for the B172 to Bad Schandau/Decin. Follow the B172 all the way to the edge of Bad Schandau (between 20 and 30 minutes depending on conditions at the time). Just before you cross the bridge over the River Elbe, turn right (follow the signs to “Krippen”). Follow that road to Krippen, drive through the pretty village until you reach the Hotel Grundmuehle (on the left-hand side of the road just as the road bends to the left). Take a right turn, following the signs to Kleinhennersdorf (a part of Gohrisch). Drive up the hill. At the very top, you will pass a signe welcoming you to Kleinhennersdorf. Beyond that, take the first turning on your right (a road sign will say “Neue Bauerngasse”). Follow that narrow lane, and keep to the right when the route splits in two some 50 metres from the main road. You will then drive past fields on your right and a few detached houses with large gardens on your left. Some 200 metres on you will a large ochre/yellow-coloured house. That’s No. 38, the Haus of Lords. Parking is to the side of the house down the driveway.
