    Beautiful view from the left bank of the Elbe on the dreamlike town of Rathen.

      If you are on the Elbe cycle path, you can look over to Rathen here. A great sight. We recommend!

        You have to go through Rathen and its many tourists to reach the quiet of the forests and the grandiose rocky landscape. There are souvenir shops next to cafés and cafés next to souvenir shops. No place to linger, quickly through!

          pretty little village right on the Elbe

            Located directly on the Elbe Cycle Route and due to the popularity of a small tourist hotspot. Is it through & over you can breathe again!

              The other side of the Rathen can only be reached by ferry because Car-free, from there you get on the fastest way (on foot) to the bastion. From the top you have a great view of the Elbe and the place.

                The view from the banks of the Elbe is just great.

                    We were there in the morning hours when the sun shines directly on the rocks.

                      A well-known place with a ferry on the Elbe.

                        A quiet place when the train isn't running.

                          If you just pass on the opposite side, you have a great view of the Bastei. After the translation offers as a change a hike to the blackbird tree.
