Most scenic part of the Elbe River cruise

Uncategorized 1 Minute

This is Saxon Switzerland National Park, a 10 mile area of deep woodland ravines, steep hills and beautiful landscapes. It is a UNESCO world heritage site. it is also a rock climbing mecca for those so inclined. We stopped in Bad Schandau, a village dating back to the 1300s. The town is famous for healing waters and spas. A famous resident, Sebastian Kneipp(1821-1897), a Bavarian priest is considered the father of hydrotherapy.

The rock castle of Neurathen high on the cliff in the distance.
This bridge was built of wood in 1827 and the rebuilt in stone 27 years later.
There are 7 arches in this bridge.
