Hiking

The spa town of Rathen is a tourist magnet due to its unique location on the Elbe, the rock stage and the scenic attractions all around. From here you can reach, among other things, the Bastei, the Amselsee, the Schwedenlöcher, Gamrig, the Uttewalder Grund, the Schleifgrund. Or over the Hockstein down the brutal Wolfsschlucht into the beautiful Polenztal and up to the Brandbaude. There is something for everyone.

Hiking

Split place - connected by ferry. Many beautiful hiking trails on the Bastei side. The "valley guardian" is an eye-catcher. It's worth a visit. We have been up several times (with equipment, of course).
From the other side of the Elbe you have a wonderful view of Bastei and the surrounding area.

Hiking

Beautiful place, which has served us as a perfect starting point for hikes to and around the Bastei, to Lilienstein and the fortress Hohenstein. Car was parked on the first day in front of the apartment and only on the last day on departure again needed. In addition, there are many great restaurants in Rathen.
