Amazing place to go. Highly recommend this trip if you are in Germany or Czech Republic. The views are worth the drive and hike.

Absolutely worth the visit. If you take a tram to waterfalls, don’t be fooled - the Lichtenhainer Wasserfall is not the main thing to see here. An easy hike about 45 minutes through the forest to enjoy the view from and of the Kuhstall, one of the main view points for the region. And definitely take a Himmelweg - stairs between two rocks, truly unique experience!

Delicious dishes in big portions. Tasty beer. Nice and helpful staff, good service. Decent price/value ratio. Free wifi. Play garden for the children. If you sit outside, across the street, on the terrace you can enjoy the nostalgic street view and the beautiful natural environment. The only downside is the traffic can get really loud and smoky on busy weekend days. Unfortunately smoking is also allowed everywhere. I still recommend having a lunch or a dinner in this charming place.

We chose the trail road in the picture, it took two hours with a few stops. Really suggest to climb up from the left side of the trail! Right one had much more steps and view during climbing up didn't seem so dynamic compared to the left one. It was a really nice end of winter walk :)

Awesome moderate hike. Trail can be a little confusing but with google maps you can find your way to and back home. Parking can be tough depending on where you park. Overall, a great experience. Definitely hit this moderate hike. There are steep stairs and some scrambling. Requires some coordination. I hike it in running sneakers.

The historic elevator in Bad Schandau, built in 1904, stands as a remarkable blend of Art Nouveau design and innovative engineering. With a height of 52.6 meters, it offers panoramic views of the Saxon Switzerland National Park. This unique structure not only connects visitors to scenic forest paths but also represents a seamless fusion of history and modern functionality. A must-see landmark for travelers seeking beauty and heritage. I strongly recommend this place for the visitors.

Interesting and long, but a little bit slow, historic tram line along the road, river and the national park, so you can admire the views from windows. Free if you have Deutschlandticket or 5 Euro fee. Also you can do some hiking and return to the city by tram

so very nice and welcoming staff, the waffel is good AND pretty, the linsensuppe was fresh, hot and tasty. seating is only outside, but glühwein helps! open on weekends 11-16oclock.

We attended the Christmas night ballroom dance and had a lovely time. The ballroom is beautiful and has a really nice floor. The music was good. We discovered dance by chance and went because we were staying nearby. We will be going back next Christmas. Update we have been coming every year for the dance except during covid.

Biggest and best schnitzel on the trip def! Dark local bier was also scrumptius. Scrupulously good food, vert german indeed.

adter much tiring hike journey. do stop by at this restaurant ...they serve lovely dessert and German cuisine.

national park which also has three different trekking paths and a hotel must visit!

So beautiful here and the view is amazing - access is very stable via ostrau and worth the view

Here's a detailed trail guide: • Length: Approx. 12 km round trip (depending on the starting point and route taken) • Difficulty: Moderate to challenging • Duration: 4-6 hours • Starting Point: The trail typically starts in the village of Bad Schandau or at the Schrammsteinbaude parking area. Bad Schandau is a popular base for many hikes in the park, and from here, you can either walk or take a bus to the trailhead at Schrammsteinbaude. The hike can also be started from other nearby locations like Ostrau, depending on the specific route you choose. 1. Schrammstein Viewpoint (Schrammsteinaussicht): This viewpoint is the main highlight of the hike, which is one of the most famous vantage points in Saxon Switzerland. From here, you'll have a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire Elbe Sandstone Mountains, with the Elbe River meandering through the valley below. The viewpoint is reached after a steep climb involving ladders and metal steps attached to the rocks. The final ascent requires a bit of scrambling, but the effort is well worth the stunning views. 2. Schrammstein Ridge (Schrammsteinkamm): After reaching the viewpoint, the trail continues along the Schrammstein Ridge, offering a thrilling walk along narrow paths with steep drop-offs on either side. The ridge itself is a series of jagged rock formations that create a dramatic skyline. This section of the trail is one of the most exciting and challenging parts, requiring surefootedness and a head for heights. The path is secured with handrails in some areas, but it still demands caution and concentration. 3. Wildschützensteig: This is an alternative route that can be taken during the hike, adding an extra level of adventure. This steep path involves climbing up iron ladders and navigating through narrow rock passages. It's a more demanding option but provides a unique experience of the rugged terrain and offers additional viewpoints along the way. 4. Schrammsteinbaude: On your return, you can stop by Schrammsteinbaude, a cozy mountain hut that serves as a rest point. Here, you can enjoy traditional Saxon cuisine and refreshing drinks, perfect for recharging after the hike. The hut is conveniently located near the trailhead, making it an ideal spot to end your adventure before heading back to Bad Schandau.

Stunning place. Where do I start? The bread is excellent. The beer they brew is very good (Try the Biobock) and they have nice cakes and pizza/quiche. Overall the crowd was very nice, with a good mix of all age groups and Czech/German people. It really feels the owners have created something special here. I'll definitely go here a third time soon!

Very delicious dürüm, with a rich filling and for a good price.

The best food around, which the 3.9 rating shows some people are trying to hide. Fresh daily dishes — today was fish — as well as salads, kid food, cakes & the beer brewed across the street. Upstairs inside families, downstairs outside is surprisingly posh and romantic. Ferry to the s-bahn across the river also shown in photo.

Gourmet food presented in an excellent way by a waiter who reads one's mind and cares for your well being with his well tempered saxonian accent. A place to feel comfortable.

Tasty dishes and wonderful service-did not speak English but can manage to communicate anyway. Credit cards accepted :)
