    Hiking trail directly on the Elbe with a wonderful view of the Bastei. There should be a bench here to linger a while and enjoy the view 👍

      The phrase "View of the Bastei from the Elbe" describes a perspective from which one views the famous Bastei rock formation in Saxon Switzerland from the Elbe River. The Bastei itself is a striking sandstone formation with an impressive bridge, part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. From the river, it offers a particularly picturesque view: the rocks rise dramatically above the water, surrounded by forests and often shrouded in mist, creating an almost fairytale atmosphere. ma-ezpass.com
