    Hiking

    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.

    Hiking

    This clearly shows how thin the ground cover is. Erosion is usually caused by excessive use. Therefore, please do not cross-country and stay on the paths.
