Hiking, cycling, and climbing in Saxon Switzerland are genuine pleasures. The journey often begins on virtual paths. Online, one gathers ideas and information, exchanges tips, and makes arrangements. These are the most important social media hotspots on the web.
On Instagram, we showcase the region from its most beautiful side. You too can tag us in your nicest photos (from Saxon Switzerland) with @saechsischeschweiz, and they will also appear in our account, with a chance for a feature (repost) on our high-reach account with over 115,000 followers.

The Facebook page of the Saxon Switzerland Tourism Association has as many fans as a medium-sized city has inhabitants. Accordingly, it is lively here: landscape photos, videos, moments of joy, and current information are shared, events, destinations, and hiking routes are recommended, and much more. The Painter's Way and the Elbe Cycle Route each have their own Facebook presences.
With the interactive map of the tour planner, hikers and cyclists can comfortably plan, save, print, or download their explorations through the Elbe Sandstone Mountains as a GPS data file. Additionally, there is information on travel directions, total length and duration, route conditions, and elevation profile, as well as tips on interesting points along the way and suitable accommodations. Moreover, over 100 ready-made hiking tours are available to choose from.
Several authors regularly contribute to the Saxon Switzerland Weblog with interesting articles in the categories of hiking, cycling, climbing, water sports, active holidays, region, events, and media. This is a space for detailed hiking reports, features, and tour descriptions, contributions about the history of the region, portraits, service articles, as well as for current announcements and activities.
On its channel on the video platform YouTube, the Saxon Switzerland Tourism Association periodically publishes short image films, interviews, and various other informative clips. A crowd favorite is the short comedy »What is Love?«, viewed more than 100,000 times, featuring Laina Schwarz and Tom Pauls as an unlikely couple testing their love in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
