    Tips

    The Bastei Viewpoint is arguably one of the most famous vantage points in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
    The panoramic view extends from the holiday resort of Wehlen in the Elbe Valley, over the Rauenstein, Königstein, and Lilienstein mountains, and far into the Upper Saxon Switzerland. The absolute highlight, however, is the direct panoramic view of the Rathen Rocks. See: saechsische-schweiz.de/ausflugsziele/bastei-aussicht
