The Elbe Sandstone Mountains, also known as Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland, are situated to the east of Dresden. This unique landscape runs from Pirna along the river Elbe to Dêcin on both sides of the border between Saxony and the Czech Republic. Steep cliffs with breathtaking views, deeply-cut gorges with clear water streams, majestic table-top mountains, bizarre rock needles, savaged, untouched woods with their remarkable fauna and flora, hiking trails for nature lovers – all that and much more the Elbe Sandstone Mountains have to offer to their visitors.
