2025 Lohmen Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Many people go to Dresden for cultural and historical landmarks, but driving just an hour further lies a true beauty of nature - the Bastei bridge. This rock formation is nestled in the Elbe sandstone mountains, 194m above the Elbe River, in an area known as Saxon Switzerland. Breathtaking views are everywhere, especially in fall 🍂🍃, but for me the best experience is having lunch and cocktails at the Bastei Berghotel and panorama restaurant. Amazing food that tastes and looks perfect :) Near Bastei there's also Lilienstein, which is a cool hiking place, and also the Konigstein fortress. #fallingforfall #mytripvlog #tripblazers #春节 #germany #rockformation #bastei

#tripaway Over millions of years, Elbe River has carved the graceful rock landscape and romantic gorges and valleys of Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland. The total area of a wilderness of Elbe Sandstone Mountains is more than 700 km2. It is divided between two countries: Germany and Czechia. There is a Saxonian Switzerland National Park with an area more than 93 km2 in Germany and Bohemian Switzerland National park in Czechia with a 79 km2 area. So there is plenty of space to explore besides Bastei. The name of Saxon Switzerland was given to the place by two Swiss painters Adrian Zingg and Anton Graff, who worked at the Academy in Dresden and painted the landscape along the Elbe in the 18th century.11 bastei saxony germany thesanetravel.com 1390462 How to get there from Dresden? Regional trains ("S-Bahn") connect Dresden and Saxon Switzerland at least every 30 minutes during the day. They stop in Pirna, Obervogelgesang, Stadt Wehlen, Kurort Rathen, Königstein and Bad Schandau. To me, the easiest way to get to Bastei from Dresden is by S-Bahn getting out at Kurort Rathen station, then taking a short ferry boat ride across the Elbe and hiking up to Bastei and Bastei Bridge. Bastei & Bastei Bridge, the highlights of Saxon Switzerland in Germany are free of charge! There are no opening or closing times. The area is not fenced. You can visit the famous Bastei rock formations at any time of the year. #tripaway

30min drive from Dresden. A beautiful landscape of stone and village

During a multi-country trip I passed by Bastei bridge in Lohmen, Germany, an architectural masterpiece with amazing views. The trip started at Wrocław airport in Poland visiting Wieliczka mine, Auschwitz-Birkenau II concentration camp, then Czech Republic visiting Prague and Terezín Memorial (worth visiting as part of a tour after Auschwitz) then Germany visiting Berlin and Bastei bridge on my way to Dresden airport. #100WaysOfTravel

Bastei is a key part of the Saxon Switzerland National Park (Sächsische Schweiz National Park). The entire national park covers an area of ​​92 square kilometers and is the only national park in the German state of Saxony. It is located in the mountainous region of eastern Germany and extends to the Czech border. This is a strange stone forest in Central Europe. It is most famous for its natural and unique rocks. You can also overlook the Elbe River from a high place. Most people can take the S-Bahn from Dresden to Kurort Rathen station and then transfer to a bus (please note that Germany is different from other European countries, so please arrive early). Most people may just go there to check in, but slow travelers can stay in a mountain hotel for a night and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
