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!

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.

==========================================
The history of tourism in Germany goes back to cities and landscapes being visited for education and recreation. From the late 18th century onwards, cities like Dresden, Munich, Weimar and Berlin were major stops on a European Grand tour.
Spas and Seaside resorts on the North and Baltic Sea (e.g. Rugia and Usedom islands, Heiligendamm, Norderney and Sylt islands) particularly developed during the 19th and early 20th century, when major train routes were built to connect the seaside spas to urban centers. An extense bathing and recreation industry materialized in Germany around 1900. At rivers and close to natural landscapes (along the Middle Rhine valley and in Saxon Switzerland for example) many health spas, hotels and recreational facilities were established since the 19th century.
Since the end of World War II tourism has expanded greatly, as many tourists visit Germany to experience a sense of European history and the diverse German landscape. The country features 14 national parks, including the Jasmund National Park, the Vorpommern Lagoon Area National Park, the Müritz National Park, the Wadden Sea National Parks, the Harz National Park, the Hainich National Park, the Saxon Switzerland National Park, the Bavarian Forest National Park and the Berchtesgaden National Park. In addition, there are 14 Biosphere Reserves, as well as 98 nature parks.
The countryside has a pastoral aura, while the bigger cities exhibit both a modern and classical feel. Small and medium-sized cities often preserved their historical appearance and have old towns with remarkable architectural heritage - these are called Altstadt in German.

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, 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.
