Travel guide Saxon Switzerland with Stadtführer Dresden 11.A 2021/22

The Saxon Switzerland, also known as the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, inspired not only painters and poets from the Romantic period, who discovered the landscape for themselves as a travel and hiking destination. Even today, more than 1,200 kilometers of marked hiking trails, numerous spa and holiday resorts and a trip to Dresden attract visitors to the region. A quarter of the area has been a national park since 1990 - the only one in Saxony and one of the most beautiful in Germany.

Follow the author to the solitude of the Affensteine, on the mountain trail over the Schrammsteine ​​or by boat through the moss-dark gorge of the Kirnitzsch. Discover Bohemian Switzerland on the other side of the Czech border, which forms a natural unity with Saxon Switzerland. Visit Dresden's museums, galleries, boulevards, pubs and cafés and enjoy a detour to Meissen and Moritzburg, as well as the Elbe wine villages.

Each chapter begins with a two-page spread introducing the contents with an overview map of the region, highlights, and page references. Of course, the travel guide contains tried and tested and practical tips on AZ travel matters. The extensive foreword contains overview pages with descriptions of all regions, an annual overview of festivals and events, route suggestions and personal top tips from the author. Lots of special information, for example about how to get there and about the wide range of activities on offer, are useful aids in planning.
