The Bastei is probably the most popular sight in Saxon Switzerland. The view from the bastion offers a unique panorama with views of numerous sights such as the Lilienstein and Königstein. This photo shows the view across the Elbe to the Lilienstein.

The Bastei Bridge runs through the rock formation, from which you can also enjoy a fantastic view. The bridge also leads to the famous ruins of the Neurathen rock castle.

In February 2023, the 20-metre-long Skywalk was opened as a new attraction at a height of 194 metres.

The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are located in the border region between Saxony and the Czech Republic, around 50 kilometres south of Dresden. The German part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains is also known as Saxon Switzerland - the Czech part is known as Bohemian Switzerland. The landscape, characterised by bizarre rock formations, lies south-east of Dresden on both sides of the Elbe in the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains. The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are also known as the "Grand Canyon of the East" due to the uniqueness of their rock formations.

There are many impressive and famous excursion destinations in Saxon Switzerland. Some of these include the Bastei with its impressive rock formation and the Bastei Bridge, Königstein Fortress, the Schrammsteine, the Kuhstall, the Lilienstein and the popular Malerweg hiking trail.
