The last big place on the Elbe Cycle Path in the direction of the Czech Republic! Good infrastructure, so recharge all your batteries there! The passenger elevator and the city center of Bad Schandau are definitely worth seeing.☝️

Bad Schandau - spa town on the Elbe

Already in the 14th century. Bad Schandau was first mentioned as a Schiffersiedlung, Schandau was granted town charter in 1479. In mid-1730 a sulfur and iron spring was discovered here; with the first bathing establishment in 1799, the foundation stone was laid for the development of the place into a spa.

When the inhabitants inaugurated the Bad Schandau train station in 1877, it was the last to go into operation on the then new Dresden-Bodenbach line. Before that, the completion of the first Schandau Elbe bridge and the railway line to Sebnitz were celebrated.

In 1920 the city received the status of a bath and since 1936 there have been Kneipp cures here. Bad Schandau is still a popular spa town with several modern spa facilities today. The four districts of Krippen, Ostrau, Postelwitz and Schmilka belong to the city.

Bad Schandau is ideal as a central starting point for tours and hikes in the national park region and the Saxon Switzerland National Park, as well as for cross-border activities in the Elbe Sandstone Protected Landscape Area and the Bohemian Switzerland National Park.

A visit to the city on the Elbe is worthwhile. There is a lot to see and good food is also available there!
