Bastei Bridge - Hiking to history
#traveldiaries
My partner and I were visiting Berlin for a few days. As much as it has to offer and all the history and landmarks there are to be seen, a hike is a hike. A hike is like a treat for the soul.
If you are a sucker for hiking and enjoying beatiful views then next time when you are in Berlin, you have to visit Bastei Bridge. It was fairly easy and for a couple of people like my partner and I, who are still beginners in hiking, I can say confidently it was very easy.
We took a train to Dresden from Berlin and from there made our way to Bastei Bridge #myhiddengems . If you are hoping to catch the sunset or sunrise then you will need to stay a night in Dresden.
💞Reasons to Recommend: Easy to reach from Berlin. Amazing views, a lot of history. Fun fact #facts Bastei Bridge is a rock formation in Germany created by water erosion for over a million years.

Hiking Through Fairy Tales: A Trek in Sächsische Schweiz
#europetrip
Step into a landscape straight out of a fairy tale with a hike in Sächsische Schweiz, Germany’s stunning Saxon Switzerland National Park. Imagine towering sandstone cliffs, deep ravines, and lush forests—all wrapped in an air of mystery and adventure.
Start your hike at the famous Bastei Bridge, where you’ll find jaw-dropping views of the Elbe River and the surrounding sandstone towers. It’s the perfect spot to snap a few photos (and maybe even feel like a wizard on a mountaintop, if you’re into that sort of thing). As you wander through the park, the trail leads you deeper into the wild heart of Sächsische Schweiz, where you’ll encounter quirky rock formations, hidden caves, and valleys so peaceful, you might forget you’re only a short drive from the city.
The real highlight of your hike? The feeling that you’re walking through a place untouched by time. Schwedenlöcher, a narrow gorge with a series of wooden ladders and bridges, is an absolute must-see—part obstacle course, part nature wonderland. It’s the perfect balance of thrill and beauty.
Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just looking for a fun escape, Sächsische Schweiz offers trails that will satisfy your inner adventurer. Don’t forget to look up—because no matter where you are, the towering cliffs will always be watching over you. So lace up those boots, and let the magic of the Saxon Switzerland sweep you off your feet!
