Additional Information
The exceptional rocky scenery, present in the upper Elbe valley from Pirna, has always been the favorite outing spot for the people of Dresden and their guests. Just over two centuries ago, Swiss painters found the sandstones to be a singular landscape setting. Renowned natural attractions such as Bastei, Königstein Fortress, Schrammsteine and so on, have invoked inspiration in artists like Caspar David Friedrich, Richard Wagner, and Carl Maria von Weber. Our journey whisks you straight to the Saxon Switzerland National Park, continuing via Bastei and Königstein Fortress, for a truly special encounter with nature.

Beautiful area! - This was a very good way to see this area plus the bus driver's commentary was interesting. For the price and not to mention no stress finding everything like driving yourself would have been!
