About the Region

The Sandstone Mountains are a nature lover’s dream come true. The mysterious rock formations, mountain streams gushing out of jagged ravines, the mesas called Lilienstein, mountain peaks rising up from surrounding forest all form the most beautiful setting a traveller could wish for. 

Most visitors take excursions to the fortress, Königstein, and the bastion. The culture, art, and history of the region between Pirna and Meissen are very attractive. There are many castles, fortresses, museums, vineyards, wine towns, cities like Pirna and Meissen, pubs, and restaurants awaiting your visit along the Elbe. 

Last, but not least: Dresden. The city has so much to offer culturally such as its Zwinger Palace, Semper Oper, Brühl’s Terrace, art galleries, and exhibitions. 

There are countless opportunities on the Elbe River Cycle Route between Bad Schandau and Meissen to experience the many highlights of the Saxon landscape. The tour stages allow for ample time to relax and visit points of interest.
