Far from the popular tourist destinations of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, such as the Bastei or the Schrammsteine, the Forststeig trail winds its way through a secluded 100 kilometers and 13 scenic table mountains. The Elbe Sandstone Mountains on the left bank of the Elbe are at least as fascinating

Your last stage on the rustic Forststeig has begun. With only a good 8 kilometers to the end in Bad Schandau, it is by far the shortest and most relaxed and gives you enough time to stop at one of the most beautiful views on the way to say goodbye.
As soon as you have left your last night's camp in quiet

The first stage of the Forststeig takes you deep into the beautiful forests of Saxon Switzerland and feels like you're far from civilization. A great view from one of the highest mountains on your entire tour and a cozy evening in a rustic forest hut await you.
Your adventure begins at the Schöna S-Bahn

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!

A wonderful family hike with tower climbs - along the way you will learn interesting facts about tree species and as a reward at the end you will be rewarded with a visit to the outdoor lake or the Mariba leisure pool.

This very varied hike leads through the rocky grounds of the Nikolsdorfer walls, to various views and to the "labyrinth". Especially for children it will be a pleasure to explore the path through the narrow rock passages and to discover small caves and hiding places in the labyrinth. This natural maze

The penultimate stage of the forest trail brings you a little closer to civilization without losing anything of its natural character. Königstein Castle and the Pfaffenstein keep appearing between the treetops while the rollercoaster ride continues over the table mountains.

There are now many kilometers behind you on the forest path. But today the longest of the seven stages is waiting for you. Passing bizarre rock formations that make the Elbe Sandstone Mountains so popular, the Forststeig resembles a long roller coaster. Ascent and descent alternate steadily on your way

The second part of the hike is a little more leisurely, but there are surprising things to discover near the ground. The tour is suitable for children who
