    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 BĂ€rensteine 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.
