Experience Saxon Switzerland up close and personal with trips down the river Elbe by raft or dinghy, hikes, and bike tours - also guided tours, both indoor and outdoor high rope courses, climbing tours, and cave explorations. A vacation in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains offers something for every lover of active recreation. The unusual opportunities for adventure here make this a top excursion destination.
For your active vacation we have put together some of our personal recommendations:
Malerweg "Painter's Way" in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains – one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Germany. Painters, musicians, and literary figures were once inspired to write immortal works while walking on these paths. Today, 112 kilometers of varied hiking in eight daily stages leads you across this world of forests and sandstone cliffs.

Panorama Path – an idyllic hiking route of 18 kilometers from Bad Schandau up to Schomberg and then to the plateau "Kiefricht". From there then further over the fields and meadows of the plateau to Altendorf, Mittelndorf, Lichtenhain, Ottendorf to Saupsdorf.
