Schrammtor in the Saxon Switzerland National Park

Highlight • Gorge

The Schrammsteintor is one of the most stunning rock formations in the entire national park. Towering towering the rocks on both sides above you. Climbers love the steep walls and in good weather you can see them high up and on top of the Schrammsteine.

View of the Schrammsteine

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Schrammsteine are an approximately 12 km² long, unspoiled, heavily jagged rock formation east of Bad Schandau. They are bordered by the Kirnitzsch Valley to the north, the Elbe Valley to the south, and the two Winterberg mountains to the west. They are divided into the Vordere Schrammsteine, which extend from the Falkenstein to the Breite Kluft, and the Hintere Schrammsteine, which are found between the Affenstein and the Winterberg mountains.

View from the Breite Kluft plateau

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Breite-Kluft-Aussicht is another breathtaking view on the edge of the Malerweg. The view can hardly be missed and is right on the Malerweg. The area offers an ideal place to take a break and soak up the sun. Especially in the afternoon, the low winter sun lets the surroundings appear in a beautiful light. If you stay that long, you should of course feel comfortable hiking in the twilight and have a flashlight with you, especially for the descent to the Schrammstein.

Little Prebischtor

Highlight • Natural Monument

Maybe not quite as big as the big brother in Bohemian Switzerland, but right on Malerweg. The fact that nature has formed such a gate directly from the sandstone is still incredible.

Kuhstall Rock Arch

Highlight • Natural Monument

The cowshed is a 11 m high, 17 m wide and 24 m deep rock gate. From the Lichtenhain waterfall you need about 30 minutes on foot to the Felsentor Kuhstall. Right next to it is the Himmelsleiter (stairs in the rock), which is definitely recommended 😉.
