    On the riverside promenade in Rathen, right near the Elbe ferry, there is a beautiful photo motif that captures the Elbe region with the Lilienstein in a painting in earlier times. A motif worth seeing that makes you think.

        Wehlen is a so-called country town in Saxon Switzerland. It lies on the railway line from Dresden to Prague and in the heart of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, making it a starting point for hikes to destinations such as the Bastei, the Rathen Rock Stage, the Bärenstein and Rauenstein, as well as the Wehlen and Uttewalder Grund.

        Saxon Switzerland is the name given to the German part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony.

        Rathen is a spa town located below the rocky backdrop of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxon Switzerland, approximately 35 kilometers from Dresden.

        Both Wehlen and Rathen have a passenger ferry across the Elbe and a rail connection to Dresden, among other places! So you can easily reach the Elbe Sandstone Mountains!
