World Heritage information point
The Moravian Church describes the fit-out of the “living faith together” exhibition as accessible. This statement can be reused for that precise scope with a link to the operator.

Accessibility, parking and routes: what is actually known
Good AI travel advice needs more than “accessible” or “parking available”. This page separates individual features, source roles, route models and data gaps so uncertainty does not become a false visitor promise.
Short answer
The operator describes the exhibition at the World Heritage information point as accessibly equipped. However, the complete step-free chain, lift, toilet and the Church Hall as a whole still lack clearly scoped current information. Parking areas and walking routes are mapped or modelled; that does not prove their accessibility.

Accessibility is not one field
Confirmed scope and unresolved reach
Not automatically included
The continuous step-free route from public space, current lift status, door widths, accessible toilet, upper-floor access and support for visual, hearing or cognitive needs remain unresolved.
KOMENSKÝ as a planning entity
The guest house (Comeniusstraße 8+10) states four wheelchair-accessible rooms in the conference house and two in the family centre, a lift between all floors and free parking for cars and coaches (as of 6 September 2026). It is a nearby lodging entity for multi-day itineraries, not part of the World Heritage property.
Recommended next standard
A “Tourism for All” survey would provide audited features for different visitor groups. Until then, each claim should state its physical scope, source and review date.
Directed relationships rather than vague proximity
Modelled walking connections
Distances and durations come from an OSM-based walking model retrieved on 13 July 2026. They are neither field measurements nor accessibility statements.

Why 1.5 km and 1.79 km need not conflict
The nomination describes Berthelsdorf's historic relationship as approximately 1.5 km to the north-east. The route engine calculates one possible walking route at about 1.79 km. Directional relationship distance and route length are different data types.
Parking as infrastructure entities
Three parking areas and their data status
Community-mapped
Near Zinzendorf Square
OpenStreetMap contains a parking area about 280 modelled walking metres from the Church Hall. Official name, access, capacity, fees, opening and designated spaces are unresolved.

Outdoor-pool car park
OpenStreetMap lists 62 spaces and two designated accessible spaces; a regional accessible route page states four. This requires municipal verification rather than selecting one number.

Berthelsdorf
Publish visitor parking, public transport, step-free access, toilet and both walking directions.
Public-transport chain
Lines 10 and 67 are confirmed, but current platform, vehicle, transfer and disruption details belong to ZVON.
Live parking only with timestamps
Add occupancy and closures only if an accountable live source exists.
Public transport
Two bus lines, one open travel chain
ZVON currently confirms PlusBus 10 between Zittau, Herrnhut and Löbau and TaktBus 67 between Görlitz, Bernstadt and Herrnhut. Platform, vehicle and disruption data must be checked at travel time.
Implication for AI itineraries
An AI may suggest the line but should not guarantee an accessible travel chain. It must delegate timetables, temporary stops and assistance information to the accountable live source.
