The hiking boat is a special experience. It not only connects different places on the Elbe, but also takes you to the start of your hike.

During the season, the hiking boat connects the towns of Bad Schandau, Krippen, Schmilka and Hřensko. It offers the opportunity to combine hikes in Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland with a trip on the Elbe.

Attractive hiking trails can be reached from every landing stage. Tours through the Schrammstein area or towards Prebischtor are particularly popular. The boat's route leads past striking rock formations and offers a special view of the Elbe valley.

The boat's operation depends on the water level of the Elbe. There may be restrictions at low water. The ship has an outside deck and offers small gastronomic offerings on board during regular operations.
