About this experience
The elements, like skilled creators, have 'forged' whimsical stone giants from the sandstone slabs of Saxon Switzerland. On the table mountains, among the forests, fortress walls and arched bridges reminiscent of Gothic tales can be seen. In these mysterious lands, you will feel like a Byronic hero, learn who was inspired by the local landscapes, and feel reverence for the power of nature.
What to Expect
The magical power of the elements
Lands of Saxon Switzerland have experienced the full force of nature: once part of Saxony and Bohemia was covered by water, which, drying up, exposed the sandstone slabs. And following this amazing land, volcanic shocks, lava flows, prolonged rains, and hurricanes 'sprinkled'. The unbelievable relief of Saxon Switzerland is worth seeing with your own eyes - these are entire stone cities, lost in the green of high forests, rocky gorges, and amazing mountain landscapes.
Traces of man in a natural paradise
Impressive not only the natural 'decorations' of the region - in Saxon Switzerland, there are enough man-made monuments. It is here, among the table mountains, that Königstein, the largest European fortress of impregnability, is frozen. Composer Richard Wagner and writer Hans Christian Andersen traveled through the mysterious lands of Saxon Switzerland - of course, in search of inspiration! You will find out where the secret of the quality of European porcelain is kept, and what sad story the walls of the ancient city of Stolpen hide. And the view of the most harmonious attraction - the Bastei Bridge - will remain the brightest memory of the beauties of Saxon Switzerland.
