En route in the Elbe Sandstone Highlands on the outskirts of Saxony

Hiking – on tour around Bad Schandau

Three days in Bad Schandau and one firm goal: We are going to go hiking despite the temperature being 30 degrees!

A visit to the Königstein fortress in the Elbe sandstone highlands

During a short trip to Saxon Switzerland, I was drawn to the fortress Königstein. My last visit was more than 10 years ago and the weather was awful – this time it was sunny and I enjoyed my visit to the fullest.

A first for me – rock climbing in the Elbe Sandstone Highlands

Indoor bouldering is a great alternative for Berliners. Still, there is something about the idea to do “the real thing” in the outside world. We made rock climbing in the Elbe Sandstone Highlands our first outdoor climbing experience.

Visit to the bastion

In Saxon Switzerland on the banks of the Elbe, there is a bastion. Numerous tourists enjoy the wonderful view over the Elbe valley and the Elbe Sandstone Highlands from here.
