Bastei

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.
