Saxon Switzerland
Just beyond the gates of Dresden in the direction of the CSR border, you will be surprised by one of Germany's most unique natural beauties: the wild and romantic rocky world of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, large parts of which have been declared a national park, where bizarre rock needles, reefs and deep gorges alternate with wide plateaus, large, quiet forests and lovely valleys topped by table mountains. Embedded in pure nature: the Elbe, on which the oldest paddle steamer fleet in the world operates, and many a cosy little town. 1200 km of hiking trails await leisurely and demanding nature lovers - in a dense variety that is second to none, from walking trails to via ferratas. Around 14,000 (fourteen thousand!) climbing routes from easy to extremely difficult lead to 1,100 free-standing peaks - we wish you all the best!
Hiking idyll
The most striking table mountain in Saxon Switzerland, located near Königstein and Waltersdorf, rises 300 metres above the Elbe valley and offers fantastic views. Ascent via the 110-metre-high foot slope and a 70-metre-high set of steps to a heavily disintegrated summit plateau, which reveals the remains of a 14th century castle complex. The Lilienstein is a control point for the "Eisenach-Budapest International Mountain Hiking Trail".
Kuhstall (New Wildenstein)
The Kuhstall is a gateway to nature! The striking rock massif lies in the middle of a densely wooded area. A short climb from the Lichtenhain waterfall on well-surfaced paths. The impressive layered cave (24 metres long, 17 metres wide and 11 metres high!), used as stables by robber barons in the Middle Ages, is one of the most popular excursion destinations in Saxon Switzerland. The Himmelsleiter, a narrow set of steps, leads through the shoulder-wide Ritterschlucht gorge up to a spacious plateau. A fantastic view of the bizarre rocky backdrop of the Schrammsteine and Affensteine awaits you here. Don't miss out on getting to know the gastronomic side of the Kuhstall - an inn offers welcome refreshments before the descent.
Pfaffenstein
Impressive: the rugged table mountain near Königstein and Pfaffendorf. 349 metres high, 600 metres long, 300 metres wide. Its treasures: the largest layered joint cave in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, Bronze Age ring wall, 43 metre high rock needle in front of the southern tip - called Barbarine, goldsmith's cave, around 30 climbing rocks. After the steep ascent through the eye of the needle, you can enjoy a marvellous panorama. A snack and refreshing drinks are available on site!
Bastion
The "Bastei", a 194 metre high rocky ridge that offers the most famous view in Saxon Switzerland, towers picturesquely above the Elbe as it meanders past the spa town of Rathen. There are reasons to hike and to linger: Ascent and descent through narrow gorges, fascinating rocky landscape, views far into Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland. Walk through the rock garden, over the 76 metre long stone Bastei Bridge to Neurathen Castle. Stop off at the idyllically situated hotel and restaurant ensemble
Amselgrund
Romantic gorge near Rathen, crossed by the Grünbach stream, which plunges over a 10 m high rock step as the Amselfall and disappears into the Amselsee (boat hire, circular path around the Amselsee, 6 m high dam wall). Climb up to the Bastei - through the Schwedenlöcher, over more than 700 steps.
Schrammsteine
These are peaks to storm! Vertical rock faces, drops into wooded gorges - the rugged rock massif in the rear part of Saxon Switzerland is an excellent hiking and climbing area that rewards your efforts with fascinating views from the ridge path with views of the Elbe and Schrammstein. It stretches from the rocky base of the Kleiner Winterberg and the Affensteine to the Hoher Torstein.
Hinteres Raubschloß (Winterstein)
Knightly romance and adventure for nature lovers. The 40 metre high Winterstein massif rises proudly and darkly from the surrounding forests. Iron ladders lead up to the oldest castle site in Saxon Switzerland with the remains of walls and rock chambers carved deep into the stone. A gripping view into misty gorges and yawning chasms. Descent to the Zeughaus, one of the national park's traditional inns.
Kirnitzschklamm gorge boat trip
Embedded in the most famous valley floor in Saxon Switzerland is a 700 metre long reservoir near Hinterhermsdorf, which is bordered by steeply rising sandstone walls. It was originally created for the electoral Kirnitzschtal rafting company. Simply drift past wondrous rock formations and rare vegetation. A landscape delight - quite the comfortable tour.
Zirkelstein, Kaiserkrone
Near Reinhardsdorf, two free-standing table mountains rise up from the surrounding meadows and farmland - striking sandstone massifs whose unmistakable appearance draws the eye even from afar. Climb up the steps and ladders to the summit of the Zirkelstein. The vantage point of the 42-metre-high rock offers magical views of the Kamenice river valley. Then climb the rugged imperial crown. Magnificent views of the surrounding rocky landscape await you: Schrammsteine, Großer Winterberg - the highest mountain in Saxon Switzerland, Zschirnsteine and Bohemian Switzerland.
Bielatal valley
Dreamy, sunny meadows, healthy mixed forest, gently babbling brooks, lined with lush ferns, mosses and grasses, and unusually delicate rock formations. Hiking and climbing here is a pleasure! An extensive network of paths opens up the area around the villages of Bielatal and Rosenthal all the way to the Czech border. Bold rock towers such as the Pillars of Hercules, the Abandoned Wall and the Leaning Tower offer sporting challenges of all levels of difficulty. If you take the time to watch in peace, you will see many an acrobatic feat!
