From Leipzig to Saxon Switzerland
First Dresden with the Frauenkirche and the Zwinger, then the Elbe valley narrows and the rocks grow: Bad Schandau is the base for the Bastei, the Schrammsteine and Königstein Fortress. Hiking trails start right in town, the historic Kirnitzschtal tramway runs to the Lichtenhain waterfall, and the Elbe ferry takes you to the other bank.
