Saxon Switzerland is a breathtaking natural wonder southeast of Dresden, where bizarrely shaped sandstone cliffs, deep gorges, and table-like plateaus create one of the most spectacular landscapes in Central Europe. The Elbe Sandstone Mountains stretch on both sides of the Elbe River and continue on the Czech side as Bohemian Switzerland.
The Bastei Bridge is the iconic landmark of the region and offers a stunning view over the Elbe Valley from a height of 194 meters. The Königstein Fortress, one of the largest mountain fortresses in Europe, sits atop a table mountain and documents 800 years of Saxon history. The Lilienstein, the Pfaffenstein with the Barbarine rock, and the Schrammsteine offer challenging climbing routes and magnificent views.
The area is the cradle of free climbing in Europe — for over 150 years, the special Saxon climbing rules have been maintained here, opening up more than 1,100 climbing peaks. Hikers will find over 400 kilometers of marked trails, including the 112-kilometer Malerweg, one of the most beautiful long-distance hiking trails in Germany.
The Saxon Switzerland National Park protects the unique flora and fauna of the rocky landscape. Steamships of the Saxon Steamship Company — the oldest paddle steamer fleet in the world — operate on the Elbe between Dresden and the Czech border. The region combines nature experiences, climbing adventures, and Saxon cultural history into an unforgettable travel destination.
