Hiking

The view into the Elbe valley from the Bastei shows the deeply incised river landscape of the Elbe, surrounded by steep sandstone rocks, wooded slopes, and the typical table mountains of Saxon Switzerland. Particularly characteristic is the large difference in altitude between the plateau and the valley, which makes the panorama very impressive.
