    Hiking

    The Ferdinandfelsen is a striking rock formation in Saxon Switzerland. It is one of the typical sandstone rocks of the region and offers beautiful views of the surrounding valleys and rock groups, depending on the location. The rock is part of the dense network of hiking trails around the Bastei and is often visited in connection with smaller viewpoints and climbing routes.
