Königstein as your base

From the holiday house on the hillside, days out lead into Königstein, along the Elbe or into the sandstone landscape. The fortress, Lilienstein and the Malerweg are nearby themes, alongside trips to Rathen or Dresden.

Cliffs, valleys and open views

Sandstone cliffs, wooded valleys and table mountains shape Saxon Switzerland. Depending on time, weather and fitness, you can combine gentle walks, longer hikes and cycle rides.

Combine nature and culture

Königstein Fortress, the Bastei and the spa village of Rathen each make a day out in their own right. Dresden adds architecture, museums and historic streets to a nature-based holiday.
