Saxon Saxon Switzerland National Park is situated in the centre of a natural area of almost 710 km². During the journey we will discover its Eastern part. We start in a tiny spa town of Bad Schandau, pass the town of Postelwitz and take the Malerweg route – the most picturesque path in the area of Elbe Standstown mountains. We enjoy the breathtaking views of Schrammsteine rocks, climb Großer Winterberg mountain (556 m.a.s.l.) and finish in Schmilka town where we take bus back to Bad Schandau and then train back to Prague.
The trip is challenging when it comes to the heights. If you are uncomfortable with the heights, please, consider other trips of Nomad Society.
