You can reach Saxon Switzerland and all its sights between Dresden, Meißen and Prague by a diversified transport network - train, 'Kirnitzschtalbahn', bus and ship.
Benefit from those possibilities while planning your daily tours and help to protect the unique nature of the Saxon Switzerland National Park.

The train between the art and culture city Dresden and the Saxon Switzerland operates daily every 30 minutes. The trip takes only approx. 45 minutes from the Saxon capital to Bad Schandau. The places that do not lie along the track can be reached by the different bus lines.
The Saxon 'Semmeringbahn' which leads from Bad Schandau to Sebnitz, is 15 km long, crosses 27 bridges, drive through 7 tunnels and for railway fans this track ranks among the most beautiful rail tracks in Germany.
Another touristic attraction is the traditional, electric driven 'Kirnitzschtalbahn'. The narrow-gauged tram started running in 1898. Even today it handles visitors over a track of 8 km through the romantic "Kirnitzschtal" - from bad Schandau directly into the national park area until the "Lichtenhainer Wasserfall" which is a starting point for several hiking tours.
Numerous ferries and Saxon paddle steamers offers a good possibility to discover the landscape around the river Elbe without car and from a different angle. The trip on one of the 9 historical paddle steamers radiates a whiff of nostalgia.
The 'Basteikraxler', a historic double-decker bus, shuttles between the Bastei, Bad Schandau and Königstein.
Therefore, the most important hiking destinations are interlinked and there are many possibilities for your excursions.
