Bad Schandau — Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The last major town on the Elbe Cycle Path heading towards the Czech Republic! Good infrastructure, so recharge your batteries there! The passenger elevator and the town center of Bad Schandau are definitely worth seeing. ☝️

View of Falkenstein and the Schrammsteine

Highlight • Viewpoint

Kirnitzsch River

Highlight • River

Magnificent landscape. Be sure to take the Flössersteig, which runs right next to the Kirnitzsch. It's more for sporty hikers, but it's really nice.

This afternoon we headed towards Saxon Switzerland in sunshine. The few raindrops in the parking lot of the thermal baths in Bad Schandau didn't stop us from going for a ride.
