Schrammsteine & Schrammstein view

The Schrammsteine form an elongated, heavily jagged group of rocks to the east of Bad Schandau. They are bordered by the Kirnitzschtal valley, the Elbe valley and the Winterberg mountain 

Three mighty, vertical rock cuts - the so-called Schrammtore gates - break through the rock and are impressive evidence of millions of years of weathering.

The Schrammstein viewpoint is located above the Vordere Schrammsteine at an altitude of around 417 meters. The view extends across the Elbe valley to Falkenstein, Lilienstein, Affensteinen and Winterberg. Access is via well-marked hiking trails such as the Wildschützensteig or the Jägersteig.

A particularly atmospheric light show can be enjoyed at sunset. The site is freely accessible all year round and is one of the most popular photo spots in the region.
