This tour is suitable for nature lovers, photographers, and casual hikers. Be aware that spots fill up quickly.

Itinerary

1

Bastei Bridge

Start your day at the breathtaking Bastei Bridge, the sandstone span set high above the Elbe valley and the most iconic viewpoint in Saxon Switzerland. Walk the bridge and the surrounding rock formations on foot at an easy pace, with sweeping panoramas over the river and the pinnacles.

2

Neurathen Castle

Pass by the ruins of Neurathen Castle, a medieval rock fortress built straight into the sandstone beside the Bastei — once one of the largest cliff castles in the region.

3

Bohemian Switzerland National Park

Cross into Czechia for a scenic drive through Bohemian Switzerland National Park — a wilderness of deep gorges, pine forest and sandstone towers that, with the Saxon side, gave the whole region its "Switzerland" name.

4

Dresden

After a full day of exploring, sit back and relax on the comfortable drive back to Dresden, with drop-off at your hotel.
