    Hiking

    The old stone bench on the Basteiweg is an inconspicuous but atmospheric resting place in Saxon Switzerland. It lies along the paths around the Bastei and invites hikers for a short break. From here, you can enjoy the surroundings in peace – often accompanied by forests, rock formations, and occasional glimpses into the Elbe valley.
