Family-friendly hike in Bad Schandau, Saxony.
This promising excursion starts at the free car park in Zahnsgrund and leads to the famous rock formations of the Saxon Switzerland National Park - the Schrammsteine. The way there via the Schiessgrund leads slightly but steadily uphill. Once at the top, the path can optionally be extended to the Schrammstein viewpoint. Via the Elbleitenweg it goes slightly downhill to the shooting ground, on which it finally goes back to the starting point.
The route is quite short and technically quite easy to walk. It is therefore ideal for families with children.
Highlights of the tour:
- Wildschützsteig
- Schrammsteintor
- View from the Dreifingerturm
- ridge path
