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.

Dresden (Germany) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Dresden in Saxony.
Dresden is the capital of the German Free State of Saxony and a major centre of culture with a remarkable history.The Wettner Dynasty developed the old town during eight hundred years of power and Friedrich August The First, known as ,The Strong, became its most prominent figure. He had the Zwinger, a kind of outdoor banqueting hall that was intended to be a meeting place of the nobility, designed by the architect, Poppelmann, and sculptor, Balthasar Permoser. As a centre of art and science, Dresden Castle contains a number of collections that are well known throughout the world and draw international visitors to this most ambitiously conceived and successful project. Close by, the stable courtyard is the world's oldest original tournament area of its kind. Its Tuscan-arched arcades originated in the Renaissance period and were used by spectators during various tournaments and entertainments. Count Brühl, a follower of Friedrich August The Second, was presented with the Elb Wall as a gift and had a mile-long walkway built for the nobility. It is ten metres above the banks of the River Elbe and is accessed via an external staircase from Castle Square. Today, Dresden is a harmony of both architecture and landscape and a brilliant work of art!

USTOA's Travel Together Series hosted by Kelley Ferro
The cities were really picturesque but it wasn't till I explored outside of the towns that I was truly blown away by Saxony's beauty. Impossibly green, rolling hills, wildflower fields and lazy rivers—I can see why Saxony is popular for it's hiking, biking and outdoor pursuits. The Bastei Rocks was a particular highlight.
