    A lovely place to spend a full day or just a couple hours checking out the area with bridges in stone towers. The hike is pretty mild. There are plenty of refreshments, and a place for restrooms. The view of the river alba is absolutely beautiful. The stone cliffs make for an awesome loaction for breathtaking pictures. The hills surrounding are green, with great valley views.

    This park is a beloved destination for fans of hiking and rock climbing, due to the impressive rock formations that rise up from the Elbe valley. Free-climbing is said to have originated in this very region, which is full of castles and churches as well as a magnificent open-air theatre, making this park a cultural as well as sporting destination.

    The place is literally amazing, the views are perfect and stunning. It is very interesting to hike here, since you can find roads in the wild forest far from civilization and close to the nature. The summits are not high and they are quite easy to climb. For some rocks special equipment is needed. You can visit it either from the German part or from the Czech republic part. I highly recommend going there, you can find quite cheap accomodation in case you have a car. It had not so much visitors we we were there.

    One of the few places in Europe that really makes it possible to climb onto huge sandstone rocks. Beyond that it offers widespread landscapes for the eye that all make you feel like you are in a beautiful painting, bird sounds included. Some areas also allow you to discover the rich history of the area and other spots have challenging climbing areas.

    Many trails that you can take based on how much time you have. Found that some trails were closed because of tree cutting in progress, but usually could find an alternative. Very scenic and so great to be in nature.

    Incredible place. You can see beautiful landscapes and a rock castle on the top. If you are afraid of heights this place is not for you (you are up in the air). The ticket is 7€ for 4 hours and to visit the castle 2, 50 €. The castle visitation is literally in the air (you can see through the pavement what's beneath)

    Absolutely gorgeous spot in the nature. The park is full of different hiking and climbing routes. There is an old fancy tram and some busses that can take you up and down the mountains for about 5-6€. You can find some small restaurants up there (a bit pricey). There are a few spots with an as tonight view. A super old stone bridge that used to link to villages and some more interesting spots to check like the Iron stairs in in between the rocks. Absolutely recommended.

    Stunning park 😃 we went on a day trip with a guide (check out cayman tours) that took us from dresden to the german part of the park and after to the Czech Republic part. Both were beautiful. The Czech Republic part required a little hiking but most can manage and the view on top is worth the effort.

    A place worth a visit. The park is divided between czech and Germany . I visited both of them and I highly recommend them . Also Bad schandau is nearby and the tram journey to national worth a try

    Wonderful hiking spots. Walked over 20KM in and around national park and it is beautiful place. The view from top of the rock was wonderful. Many more places to cover inside the park.

  • 5/5 Marcel S. 10 months ago on Google • 108 reviews
    Just wow! 😲 So well maintained like most of the Germany! You can see the difference with the Bohemian one as it didn't suffer as much. Gets 9/10 from us as it's not as beautiful as our favorite Slovenia!

    Amazing place to visit! Stunning views from the top of the rocks and a bit scary :)

    (Translated by Google) I was on vacation in Saxon Switzerland for two weeks and I'm still thrilled. Beautiful hikes through the idyllic nature, a fairytale boat ride on the Kirnitzsch and the fabulous view from the Schrammstones over the Saxon Switzerland. All of this is just breathtaking and highly recommended. (Original) Ich war zwei Wochen in der Sächsischen Schweiz im Urlaub und bin immer noch begeistert. Schöne Wanderungen durch die idyllische Natur, eine märchenhafte Kahnfahrt auf der Kirnitzsch und die sagenhafte Aussicht von den Schrammsteinen über die Sächsische Schweiz. All das ist einfach nur atemberaubend und sehr zu empfehlen.

    Path to the top is hard for most but worth going anyway. You can enjoy nice meal or coffee after hard work of reaching there.

  • 5/5 Fauzia Lutfiyya H. 9 months ago on Google
    The Saxon part was amazing as well. Different with the Bohemian part, here you can see some rock climbers 🧗‍♂️. And my experience here that the hike was easier than the one in Bohemian part. But, definitely still worth it. And you can visig the Bastei Bridge

  • 4/5 R S (. 1 year ago on Google
    Very large and beautiful place, a harsh contrast to the flats of neighbouring Brandenburg/Berlin. Popular tourist destination for Berliners but also (Eastern) Germans/ Europeans in general. Very lively during the Warm seasons April-October. Mostly friendly people, cute small and pretty villages. I'd advise some caution to People of colours(PoC), but no warning, especially in the off seasons stares are pretty much guaranteed but that should be the extend of it.

    It’s worth visiting for nature lovers 💐 I don’t have words to describe how beautiful and peaceful experience I had

  • 5/5 Hendrik L. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent place for an active holiday, to walk or hike. Even offers some spots for climbing. I strongly advise to visit the Kirnitzschtal and the nearby Czech Republic.

    Great views, beautiful trekking between rocks. There is easy but pleasant via ferrata. You can't pay by credit card in restaurants so remember to take money.

    Le parc national de Saxon Switzerland est l'un des endroits incontournables pour ceux qui aiment la nature et veulent découvrir les merveilles paysages des montagnes et des forêts. Cette zone se situe sur le territoire de deux pays de tchèque et d'Allemagne. De Prague, je réserve une excursion d'une journée pour visiter les 3 spots les plus impressionnants de la "Suisse bohémienne et saxonne". Ma guide est Pavla, une jolie et gentille fille tchèque, riche en connaissances et en passion pour la nature, qui m'a guidée pour découvrir de super chemin peu de touristes. Pavla a choisi un très bon programme, de nombreuses scènes magnifiques et adapté à la capacité et à la forme physique des voyageurs. Horaire raisonnable et vous n'avez pas à passer beaucoup de temps à voyager sur le même itinéraire. Sans conseils de tour guide, il serait difficile de le savoir. Midi, nous déjeunons dans un restaurant local. La nourriture ici est délicieuse et la bière est un type traditionnel de cette région. Certes génial. La visite se termine au castle de Neurathen, situé sur le territoire allemand. D'ici, je peux voir les vues majestueuses de la forêt de pierre, de la forteresse et de l'Elbe. Une ambiance vraiment paisible et confortable. Ce tour a satisfait mon souhait initial pour cet aventure naturelle en Tchèque. Une chose spéciale à dire de ce voyage, que j'ai réservé sur TripAdvisor, mais au moment du départ, j'étais le seul client. A cause de Covid , le tourisme tchèque est gravement influencé. Cependant , avec un grand esprit, Northern Hikes Company n'a pas annulé le voyage, le tour a quand même très bien soigné et parfaitement passé. Cela m'a beaucoup touché. Un esprit très convaincant pour moi d'aimer le peuple et le pays de Tchèque. Merci à Pavla et à ses collègues de m'avoir aidé à vivre une expérience aussi merveilleuse lors de ce voyage. Je reviendrai certainement et recommanderai cet itinéraire à mes amis. Espérons que les effets de la traduction covid prendront fin bientôt et que de telles tournées pourront être connues de plus en plus. Si vous avez une journée libre à Prague, ne manquez pas l'occasion de découvrir les magnifiques tour avec #Northernhikes

  • 5/5 Dominic S. 4 years ago on Google
    Breathtaking national treasure. Big rocks, beautiful vistas, make sure to do some hiking in the heart of the park. The Bastei bridge is cool but flooded with tourists, definitely not a place to enjoy nature peacefully.

  • 5/5 Marcel G. 4 years ago on Google
    The Schrammsteine are a beautiful vista that I can highly recommend. The hike was not too hard but I would suggest not bringing kids as it can be slippery and dangerous at some parts, especially at the main vista point of interest. Beware of ticks!

  • 5/5 Roxana F. 4 years ago on Google
    I totally fell in love with this place. Amazing views, pure air and nice hiking trails. It's just perfect for an escape from the city. I absolutely recommend spending a couple of days hiking around.

  • 5/5 Justinas 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome! Would like to visit again.

  • 5/5 Karsten M. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome area for extended hikes and day hikes. Multiple options to spend the night or possible to just camp outside (in certain areas). As picturesque as the postcards indicate. The trails are well indicated so it is difficult to get lost. If course the major routes can be quite busy but with a little bit of looking around it's easy to find secluded spots.

    I've visited this place for the first time and i right away feel in love with this gift of Nature! Breathtaking view from the high peaks where you can also make good walking around the National park without getting lost. This Nature is perfect Balsam for the Soul. Don't forget to visit this place.

    Stunning! A lot of viewpoints. Hiking around the Bastion Bridge itself is mostly walking up and down many stairs, but there are also other hiking trails. If you want to access the viewpoints at Bastion Bridge, you have to pay €2 per person, which is worth it! Parking is nearby, and costs around €5. Really nice park to spend your day.
