The spa town of Rathen is a tourist magnet due to its unique location on the Elbe, the rock stage and the scenic attractions all around. From here you can reach, among other things, the Bastei, the Amselsee, the Schwedenlöcher, Gamrig, the Uttewalder Grund, the Schleifgrund. Or over the Hockstein down the brutal Wolfsschlucht into the beautiful Polenztal and up to the Brandbaude. There is something for everyone.

Beautiful place, which has served us as a perfect starting point for hikes to and around the Bastei, to Lilienstein and the fortress Hohenstein. Car was parked on the first day in front of the apartment and only on the last day on departure again needed. In addition, there are many great restaurants in Rathen.

Cute little split by the Elbe town with everything the tourist heart desires.
