The historic Bad Schandau passenger elevator, built in 1904 on the initiative of hotelier Rudolf Sendig, is a remarkable example of Art Nouveau architecture. This freestanding tower, 52 meters high, uniquely connects the Elbe Valley with the higher-lying Ostrau district. Riding the elevator is not only a convenient means of transportation, but also an experience in itself. During the short ride, breathtaking views over the Elbe and the town of Bad Schandau are offered. Once at the top, a small restaurant and numerous hiking trails invite you to further explore. The elevator's address is Rudolf-Sendig-Straße, 01814 Bad Schandau. The elevator is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and the ride currently costs €1.80. With a rating of 4.3 stars based on 192 reviews, the historic elevator enjoys great popularity with visitors. It is more than just a means of transportation; It is an integral part of Bad Schandau's history and a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.
