Not least because of the rock stage and the open-air performances, Rathen is very popular. The real highlight is of course the Bastei. Probably the most photographed rock formation in the world. A cent for each picture and I would have taken care of it.

Located directly on the Elbe Cycle Path and a small tourist hotspot due to its popularity. Once you're through & past, you can breathe deeply again!

Great little village at the foot of the Bastei: traffic calmed, Felsenbühne Rathen, Amselsee etc. ... nice and family-friendly.
