    Hiking

    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.
