    Hiking

    The Bastei is probably the most famous highlight of Saxon Switzerland. In the high season from April to October, the bastion is frequently visited by tourists. But in the winter months you actually have the opportunity, and not infrequently, to escape the crowds of tourists and to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Elbe in peace and quiet.

    Hiking

    From 7 p.m. you are slowly on your own here and can enjoy the views and the evening illumination of the rocks.
    During the day, you always have to expect a large crowd at THE attraction in Saxon Switzerland.

    Hiking

    The most famous attraction in Saxon Switzerland.
    Alone one is unfortunately never here. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth a visit because of the view of the Elbe and the surrounding countryside.
