Adventures In Saxony, Germany (Saxon Switzerland & Dresden)

From the Bastei Bridge, and the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxon Switzerland,, to Dresden's beautiful architecture, it’s time to get to know Saxony in Germany.

Last month Macca from An Adventurous World and I headed off on an epic adventure with two very different elements. We explored the stunning natural landscapes of Saxon Switzerland, hiking around the Bastei, checking out the Bastei Bridge and some stunning waterfalls and viewpoints too.

We also visited Dresden, to see the stunning architecture of a city that has been almost entirely rebuilt.

Although I've visited Germany five times, this trip showed me a whole new side to the country. I can't wait to see more soon!

Big thanks to Germany Tourism and Saxony Tourism for inviting us to explore this beautiful region of Germany! As always all opinions are our own.

Saxon-Switzerland National Park

Just half an hour out of Dresden is a place of incredible natural beauty. It’s a place where you can hike for days amongst soaring mountains, lush green valleys, trickling streams, quaint little villages and towering pine forests. It really is one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen and in this video I show you how to get to my favourite spot!

Getting Lost on Our Hike in Saxon Switzerland!

We decided to switch up trails on our hike near Dresden, Germany // the Czech Republic border, & whaddayakno.. we got lost. Hehe. Oh yeah, & we ran out of Gatorade, had to hike up a mountain twice, Zack's phone died, & mine was on low battery. BUT all in all we managed to still laugh lots, & have fun! Life isn't about the adversities you face, but HOW you choose to face them!

Saxon Switzerland National Park, Saxony, Germany, May 2015 - Day 1 (Malerweg Sections 1 & 2)

Hiking in Germany's Saxon Switzerland National Park, incorporating sections of the Malerweg Trail, with my friend from Vienna, Markus Schellhorn, May 2015. Our base was a campsite in the village of Mittelndorf, not far from Bad Schandau, south-east of Dresden. Together with the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic, the Saxon Switzerland region forms the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Saxon Switzerland alone has some 1,000 climbing peaks, as well as several hollows. The area is popular with Dresden locals and international climbers alike. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to.

Saxon Switzerland - Alongside the Elbe | Discover Germany

Saxon Switzerland is a national park around the Elbe valley south-east of Dresden which forms part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Like the many painters who were based here in the 18th century, modern day tourists often set out on the River Elbe to explore this romantic landscape by boat.

Hiking the Bastei Bridge in Bad Schandau, Germany | Saxon Switzerland National Park

Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!

Hiking Date: August 2017

The Bastei is a rock formation towering 194 metres above the Elbe River in Saxon Switzerland National Park.

Originally the Gals and I ended up right in the smack-middle of the National Park thinking we could get hike to the bridge from there. After a mile or so, we found out it wasn't so.

We actually had to get back on to the train from the Visitor's Center and take it like two stops up to Bad Schandau where it drops you off in this picturesque German town.

From there you must take a ferry to take you to the other side of the town (that is the first clip of the video). The ferry takes literally 5 minutes and it moves incredibly slow. Once you get to the other side of the town, you follow the signs that say Bastei and it is a 45 minute (or so) hike from base to the top.

Once up there it is literally breathtaking. The walk up is not too bad but pretty exhaustive at some points - fret not, there are some great stops along the way where you can just enjoy the pure beauty of nature.

Along the way up you will begin to see the rock formations which just excites you even more and pushes you to not stop. Crazy enough we caught a lot of rain but once it settled, you were able to see the smoke like feature of the cool air hitting the rocks - it was magical.

If you get hungry or want to award yourself with a beer, there are a couple of spots at the very top of the mountain in which you can enjoy a quick bite while enjoying the view.

This was one of the main things I wanted to do when planning my trip to Germany and was so happy once I got to cross it off my list. Hope you all enjoyed!

Family trip to gorgeous Bastei Bridge in Saxon Switzerland National Park, Germany

So I started searching for the coolest nature sites to see between Berlin and Prague to break up the 3 1/2 weeks of cities we will be in. I stumbled across this incredible wonder called Bastei.

It’s a series of bridges leading across sandstone peaks that used to be a fortress in the 1300’s.

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this place before, it should really be on everyone’s bucket list of places to visit.

Saxon Switzerland | Sächsische Schweiz 2017

Саксонская Швейцария (нем. Sächsische Schweiz) — германская часть Эльбских Песчаниковых гор. Она находится на верхнем течении реки Эльба недалеко от Дрездена.

Als Sächsische Schweiz wird der deutsche Teil des Elbsandsteingebirges in Sachsen bezeichnet. Die durch bizarre Felsformen geprägte Landschaft liegt südöstlich von Dresden beiderseits der Elbe im Landkreis Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge.

Saxon Switzerland (German: Sächsische Schweiz) is a hilly climbing area and national park around the Elbe valley south-east of Dresden in Saxony, Germany. Together with the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic it forms the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.

==========================================

Saxon Switzerland National Park , is a National Park in the German Free State of Saxony, near the Saxon capital Dresden.
It covers two areas of 93.5 square kilometres in the heart of the German part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, which is often called (the) Saxon Switzerland.
The National Park adjoins Bohemian Switzerland National Park in the Czech Republic.
The National Park is the centre of a natural area of almost 710 square kilometres.
This region is called Saxon Switzerland and is cultivated by humans in many places.
Some smaller towns and villages like Bad Schandau or Königstein in the district of Sächsische Schweiz are part of this region.
The core area of the National Park has a quiescent area of 40% and is covered almost completely by forest.
The status of National Park, which grants the highest natural protection in Germany, was established in 1990.
Saxon Switzerland is an intensively fissured and rocky canyon landscape.
The highest peak of the National Park is at 556 metres above sea level but only in short distance to the valley of the Elbe river at 110 to 120 metres.
It offers several different habitats and microclimate zones due to its strong vertical division.
The National Park still hosts some forms of forest without human intervention, which is an exception in central Europe.
The special forms of mountain forest and gorge forest are endangered in Europe generally.
Because of the sabulous soil and the fissures many places in that area are drier than normal for the temperate zone and offers rough conditions.
This makes this area so special.
The National Parks are, in some cases, in conflict with tourism and recreation.
One objective is to raise the inviolate area to 75%, which means limiting the areas of hiking and climbing.
Today there are some 400 kilometres of hiking paths, 49.9 kilometres of biking paths, and 755 climbing locations with around 12,600 possibilities of climbing routes.
The National Park is part of a larger region that serves as a recreation area close to Dresden.
Bad Schandau has a station in the EuroCity network and is some 45 minutes away from Dresden.
