Enter an alien world on your motorhome journey

The National Park Saxon Switzerland is a special nature reserve in Germany: you will find beautiful rock formations here! The nature reserve may be less well-known, but it is certainly worth a visit. The surroundings consist of an undulating landscape in which you can see various sandstone rock formations. The area lends itself perfectly to a nice walk with 1200 kilometres of footpaths. You can also enjoy cycling along the Elbe that flows through the nature reserve. The rocks are also a favourite with mountain climbers.

The most famous location in the nature reserve is the Bastei. From the Bastei Bridge, you have a beautiful view of the surrounding rock formations. It is almost as if you have landed on an alien world, as beautiful as they are! The Schwedenlöcher is also a beautiful point in the national park. From 1618 to 1648, the Thirty Years' War between the Habsburg Empire and the French took place. In this gorge, farmers safeguarded their possessions from the plundering that took place at the time. In the centuries that followed, the gorge was often used as a place to flee to in case of danger. A visit to the national park can be combined with a city trip to Dresden. It is about a 40-kilometre drive by motorhome from the city to the edge of the national park.

You can spend the night with a motorhome just outside the national park - but already in the middle of the greenery - in Königstein.
