    Tips

    October 7, 2025

    Welcome to the Brand-Baude!
    The Brand, part of the town of Hohnstein and also known as the "Balcony of Saxon Switzerland," has been one of the most popular viewpoints in Saxon Switzerland for over 250 years. The mountain inn and hostel, now known as the "Brand-Baude," also has a long tradition at this location. See: brand-baude.de
