    Tips

    Wehlen is a small 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 rock formation, the Rathen Open-Air Stage, the Bärensteine and Rauenstein rock formations, as well as the Wehlen and Uttewalder valleys.

    Saxon Switzerland refers to the German part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxony.

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

    Both Wehlen and Rathen have passenger ferries across the Elbe River and train connections, including to Dresden. This makes the Elbe Sandstone Mountains easily accessible!
