Saxon Switzerland Essentials

Saxon Switzerland features a dramatic landscape of sandstone pillars and deep gorges along the Elbe River. This collection includes the iconic Bastei Bridge, the massive Königstein Fortress, and the Pravčice Gate, the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe. The region is characterized by medieval ruins like Neurathen Castle, the distinctive flat-topped Lilienstein mountain, and the labyrinthine rock formations of the Schrammsteine and Schwedenlöcher.
