Family Holidays in Saxon Switzerland

Experiencing nature, venturing on a boat ride, climbing on summits, being inventive – it is never boring for children in Saxon Switzerland.

The Elbe Sandstone Mountains‘ diverse landscape is an ideal terrain for adventure-seekers of all ages. The experiences are manifold, tiny or huge, easy or extremely difficult – there is something for each taste. Steep paths lead up to high pinnacles or into deep caves, they run past bizarre rock formations and through moist moss-covered gorges. Is Barbarine Rock Needle really a cursed maiden? Is it true that Ice Age plants grow here? Well, these are good questions waiting to be answered. And why not go in for something creative for a change? Spinning, felting, candle making – there is a lot on offer for young and old Saxon Switzerland visitors to give them free rein to their creativity.
