View of Königstein Fortress

Highlight • Viewpoint

Of Elberadweg you can of course also up. But, if you have miles left, the best point is to take a look at the fortress. Imposing - summer and winter.

The view of the fortress is almost as great as the view from the fortress in Day Elbtal - but it is unbeatable!

Easily accessible from Dresden by S-Bahn towards Schöna, you'll find one attraction after another here. A trip on the paddle steamer is also great.

The last big place on the Elbe Cycle Path in the direction of the Czech Republic! Good infrastructure, so recharge all your batteries there! The passenger elevator and the city center of Bad Schandau are definitely worth seeing.☝️
