  1. #1 - From Wehlen to the Bastei

    4.7 (93)·Moderate·6.4 mi·Est. 3–3.5 hr
    Popular, promising hike in the Saxon Switzerland National Park, Saxony. The tour starts at the train station in Wehlen. Then you have to take the ferry to the other side of the Elbe (note prices and timetable). From there it goes uphill via Wehlen Castle. Follow the "Red Dot" markings through the Wehlener Grund, Zscherregrund and Höllengrund to the Steinernen Tisch and on to the Bastei. The secret, quiet highlight of the hike, however, is the ascent through the typical U-shaped grounds. You...

  2. #2 - Teuflisch schöne Erlebnisse im Teufelsgrund

    4.7 (61)·Easy·3.2 mi·Est. 1.5–2 hr
    Easy hike. For all fitness levels. Easily accessible paths. No special skills required. Route description: Deeply incised valleys run through the sandstone of the Vordere Sächsische Schweiz. They have an almost mystical atmosphere and a cool cellar climate. It is a world of its own into which this hike plunges; in seclusion and a little detached from reality. From the Kohlberg parking lot (road between Lohmen and Dorf Wehlen) or from the nearby bus stop in Uttewalde, after a few meters...

  5. #5 - Durch die Sächsische Schweiz

    4.6 (17)·Moderate·6.4 mi·Est. 3–3.5 hr
    Panoramic, picturesque hiking trail in Saxon Switzerland. The hike begins at the train station of the city of Wehlen. The first stop is the ferry point where you take the ferry across the Danube.

    3.5 (6)·Moderate·4 mi·Est. 1.5–2 hr

    4.8 (16)·Easy·2.2 mi·Est. 1–1.5 hr
    Short and family-friendly loop in the town of Wehlen, Saxony. The start is at the parking lot on Pirnaer Straße. The quarry path is very educational and informative and leads past a beautiful avenue of trees and to the wonderful panoramic view of the Elbe valley. The technical monument “Old Stone Saw” with a collection on the history of the quarry is right on the way. A little later it reaches the Wilke Lookout, from which a fantastic view of the Elbe near Wehlen can be enjoyed. Even though...

  9. #9 - Steinbruchpfad Wehlen

    4.6 (7)·Moderate·5 mi·Est. 2.5–3 hr
    Adventurous loop in Saxon Switzerland. A great loop near Wehlen with beautiful views and much of the history of this quarry region. The use of "Schöne Aussicht" car park at the "Aussicht" bus stop or the car park further west in the village of Wehlen is possible. Care should be taken when travelling near the Schwedenhöhle cave, especially with children, as there are so-called collapsed holes in the ground!
