There is not only super-delicious bread, but also home-brewed beer. Had today vegetable pie, slightly warmed with a dip - a dream!

Schrammsteine Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The ridge path can be imagined as a summit cross-section. It goes on well-secured paths and stairs on summit and through gorges. Thus, the ridge path combines a sense of adventure and great panoramic views along the Schrammsteine.

July 30, 2024,Von Schmilka zur Schrammsteinaussicht

Coming from Schmilka, we went via Kahntilke to Kleine Bastei. From here, you have a wonderful view of the Elbe river and the surrounding mountains. Then we continued over the Elbleitenweg to the ascent. There are 3 steep ascents to the Schrammsteinaussicht: from the Elbe side, the Jägersteig and the Wildschützensteig, and from the back of the Schrammsteine, the Mittelwinkel. …

June 12, 2025,Schrammsteine (Gratweg) – Blick auf die Schrammsteine Runde von Schmilka-Hirschmühle

We set off from the hiking car park in Schmilka. We first walked along the water before climbing up the mountain via steps, roots, and rocks.

A short detour to the small Bastei was a must. A fantastic view awaits you there.

May 13, 2025,Schrammsteine (Gratweg) – Schrammtor Runde von Schmilka

A superbly beautiful tour, albeit challenging in places. You definitely need good shoes and surefootedness. The tour was originally planned differently (to the Schrammtor), but due to a closure at the Jägersteig trail, I didn't dare go down the ridge path (the climb up is adventurous, the descent dangerous if you're not experienced climbers). Overall, a beautiful tour with amazing …

July 15, 2022,Schrammsteinaussicht von Schmilka

The last part of the way from the main path down to the road to Schmilka is not recommended. Very narrow, steep and difficult to see. Wrong with the marked path in komoot.

August 10, 2023,Kapitulation an den Schrammsteinen

On the way to the Schrammsteinen there is great forest, always breathtaking views and some strenuous climbing. Some of the stairs at the top of the Schrammsteinen are so steep! And it was so crowded. When descending the Mittelwinkel, my fear of heights on the ladder into the dark bottom of a gorge was greater than my desire to arrive …

November 29, 2023,Winterwanderung über die Schrammsteine

In the summer there are crowds here, and on a beautiful winter day like today we were almost alone.
At the beginning we were surprised at how little snow there was in the Elbe Valley, but then it was really wintery at the Rotkehlchenstiege. Trees and rocks covered in deep snow - that's how we imagined it. Via the view …

April 19, 2023,Schmilka - Kleine Bastei - Wildschützenstieg - Schrammsteine - Heilige Stiege 13,4km

Day 5 tour 2
A short walk along the Elbe from Schmilka and the Kahntilke beckoned, which of course had to be visited. More drops of sweat followed before the Kleine Bastei was reached. Relaxed we followed the Elbleitenweg and marveled at the Rauschenstein. At the entrance to the Wildschützenstieg there was a rain shower that didn't stop us and …
