Saxon Switzerland

Saxon Switzerland

"If you want to spend your holidays by the sea you are 100 million years too late!" So much about the origin of the sandstone rocks in the Saxon Switzerland National Park just an hour from Dresden. Table rocks amid wide plains, river valleys cut deep into the sandstone, romantic villages - the features of this region between Saxony and Bohemia inspired the Romantic painters as long as 170 years ago. Let us discover their favourite places along the "Painters' Trail", whether by bus, on foot or by bike. Do not miss out on the Königstein Fortress. The "Saxon Bastille" attracts those interested in military history and nature lovers alike.

Time: 8 hours

May be combined with a visit to Radeberg Brewery. See how delicious Pilsener is being brewed from nothing but hops, malt and water. Ultra-modern production plants and 134 years of local brewing tradition, crowned with a tasting of our "Zwickelbier", will give the day a special flavour.
