Overview

  • The bizarre rocky landscape, which opens in the upper Elbe valley, from Pirna, has always been the preferred excursion destination for the Dresdeners and their guests. Swiss painters discovered the sandstones as a unique landscape setting just over two hundred years ago. The well-known natural highlights such as Bastei, Königstein Fortress, Schrammsteine etc. have already inspired artists such as Caspar David Friedrich, Richard Wagner and Carl Maria von Weber. Our tour takes you directly to the Saxon Switzerland National Park, further via Bastei and Königstein Fortress - for a very special nature experience.

Activity itinerary

Bastei

  • 2h
The trip to the world-famous bastion is a pure nature experience. Embedded in the magnificent landscape of the Saxon Switzerland National Park, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Elbe valley and the bizarre rock formations. A view from the famous Bastei bridge into the jagged sandstone cliffs definitely allows the comparison to the "little Grand Canyon" of Saxony.

Koenigstein

  • 2h
The impregnable fortress! With one of the largest fortifications in Europe, the tour of the fortress offers Ein -u. Prospects that you will not forget. In the middle of the romantic rocky world of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, there are views up to the heights of the Ore Mountains and the Lusatian Mountains. During the fortress tour you will discover the historic casemates, the deep sandstone fountain and the barracks, with their famous prison. TIP: Conquer the fortress too culinary.
