Nationalpark Sächsische Schweiz

Der Nationalpark Sächsische Schweiz ist der einzige Nationalpark in Sachsen und der einzige Felsen-Nationalpark in Deutschland. Das Landschaftsschutzgebiet, das den Nationalpark umschließt, vervollständigt die Nationalparkregion Sächsische Schweiz. Der Nationalpark selbst umfasst zwei räumlich getrennte, charakteristische Ausschnitte des sächsischen Elbsandsteingebirges mit einer Fläche von 93,5 km², die so für kommende Generationen bewahrt werden sollen.

Mit seinen Felsen, besonderen Landschaften und der Tatsache, dass natürliche Prozesse hier ungestört ablaufen können, bietet der Nationalpark sehr viele kostbare Lebensräume. Dazu gehören u. a. Felsriffe, naturnahe Kiefern- und Buchenwälder, Moore und Fließgewässer. All diese Lebensräume der Sächsischen Schweiz, die die Grundlage für ihre hohe Artenvielfalt bilden, sind abhängig vom verfügbaren geologischen Substrat, der Geomorphologie, der allgemeinen Höhenlage und dem damit verbundenen Makroklima. Damit auch wir Menschen diese schützenswerte Natur erleben können, gibt es über 400 km markierte Wanderwege und gut 50 km Radwege im Nationalpark.

Bitte informiert euch vor der Wanderung unter nationalpark-saechsische-schweiz.de/wegeservice zu aktuellen Wegeeinschränkungen. Bei Fragen, Kommentaren, Hinweisen etc. sind wir per E-Mail unter nationalpark-digital@sachsenforst.sachsen.de zu erreichen.

Viel Spaß beim Wandern und Radfahren!

Passing through the "Needle's Eye" leads to the Pfaffenstein, where many different viewpoints and interesting rock formations await discovery. A highlight is the Barbarine – according to legend, a petrified maiden.



The Quirl massif is known for its numerous caves. Exploring them is especially exciting for children!
