A particularly sought-after location for a vacation apartment in Saxon Switzerland is Bad Schandau, the oldest spa town in the region. From here, it is not far to some of the most famous rock formations in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, such as the Monkey Rocks and Carolafelsen. In the town itself, you can find attractions like the personal elevator from 1904, connecting the city center on the Elbe riverbank with the higher district of Ostrau, and the well-maintained spa park. With the historic Kirnitzschtalbahn railway, you can travel to the Lichtenhain Waterfall. Another advantage of the spa town is the universally accessible Toskana-Therme, where you can relax in the healing hot springs after exhausting hikes.
Just a few kilometers further west awaits a highlight for families: Many choose to book a vacation apartment in Saxon Switzerland in Königstein to visit the famous fortress together. It offers exciting interactive programs for children of all ages, bringing the Middle Ages to life. The Elbe Leisureland is another attraction that excites not just the little ones.
The third famous location directly on the Elbe and another good choice for a vacation apartment in Saxon Switzerland is the charming spa town of Rathen at the foot of the famous Bastei. The unique Bastei Bridge is one of the region's most famous postcard motifs, and climbers especially get their money's worth here. In the summer months, the Rathen Rock Stage offers theater performances against a unique natural backdrop.
A few kilometers north of the Elbe, the town of Hohnstein welcomes you, dominated by its fairy-tale castle. Numerous hiking trails lead through the idyllic surroundings, where you repeatedly encounter unusual rock formations, grottos, and tranquil lakes.
In the far east of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains lies the town of Hinterhermsdorf, part of the district town of Sebnitz, from where you can hike across the border to the neighboring country of the Czech Republic in several directions. Take a boat ride through the impressive Kirnitzsch Gorge, which here forms the boundary between the countries, and see in the forest workers' room how people lived in the region a hundred years ago.
South of the Elbe, it is worth renting a vacation apartment in Saxon Switzerland near the rock worlds in Bielatal-Rosenthal. Here, the Hercules Columns represent another world-famous rock formation. The rock labyrinth in the neighboring Langenhennersdorf, from which you can find your way out with your wits, is enormous fun, not just for children.

A trip to the Elbe Sandstone Mountains is always worthwhile. Hiking is particularly pleasant in the mild spring air when the days are getting longer and warmer, and you can experience nature awakening firsthand. In the summer months, you can rent a vacation apartment in Saxon Switzerland with a pool in the garden and frolic in the cold water with the whole family on particularly hot days. In addition, you have access to the many outdoor pools and swimming lakes in the region.
Long hiking tours are never more beautiful than in autumn when the region's forests dress in their most colorful attire. Simultaneously, it is often still sunny and warm, especially in the golden October. In winter, the Elbe Sandstone Mountains finally sink under a thick blanket of snow, and the Christmas markets create a tranquil atmosphere in the cities. Bring your cross-country skis to use the numerous groomed trails, or wander through silent, snow-covered landscapes. Our tip: You can rent a vacation apartment with a sauna in Saxon Switzerland and cool off with snow in your own garden after a sweat session.
Vacation apartments are not the only overnight option. If you value more space or are traveling with a larger group or extended family, you can also rent your own holiday house with several rooms. Want to be thoroughly pampered? Instead of a vacation apartment in Saxon Switzerland for 2 people, book a hotel room where you don't have to clean or cook.
