Full description
Explore the bizarre rocky landscape of the Saxon Switzerland National Park on a panoramic double-decker bus tour from Dresden. Marvel at the Bastei lookout rock, the world-famous Bastei Bridge, and the breathtaking circular route of the Königstein Fortress. Gather at the meeting point in Dresden then set off toward the picturesque Saxon Switzerland National Park. Swiss painters discovered the sandstone cliffs as a landscape backdrop more than 200 years ago, and the park's well-known natural highlights such as Schrammsteine, Rathen, and the Kirnitzschtal have inspired numerous artists, including Caspar David Friedrich and Richard Wagner. On this tour, go directly into and through the national park with your German-speaking guide. Soak up stunning panoramic views throughout, especially from the Bastei lookout rock (entry included). Explore the Königstein Fortress, one of the largest fortifications in Europe (entry not included). To conclude your tour, you can either return to Dresden by simply staying on the bus, or you can take an optional boat ride back to the city on the oldest and largest side-wheel steamer fleet in the world. The boat ride is not included and can only be purchased onsite.

Olga – EstoniaOctober 16, 2023 – Verified booking
A very nice trip to Saxon Switzerland! We managed to visit the national park + the castle. I highly recommend to go to the mountains - one of the most incredible natural wonders I've ever seen in my life! Unexpectedly, the Königstein Fortress was also very interesting! The area itself is very big, and it will take some time to go around. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go back by boat. Perhaps, next time.. As stated in the description of this tour, it is in German language only. Do not expect driver to speak English - he won't be doing that. Even though I did not understand the word, our driver was talking the entire trip, and all the people in the bus were laughing non stop. I assume he did a great job, making a good mood for everyone on the bus. The b us itself is hop on - hop off style, perhaps not the most comfortable one, but it's okay. During the winter time I believe it may be a bit cold in the bus, but for us it was just fine.

This is a very easy and inexpensive way to get to see the Bastei area and visit the Konigstein fortress across the river, with some lovely countryside along the way and a great view from both destinations of a big bend of the Elbe. I don’t speak German and knew that was the only language used on the tour ; my voice translator app was not up to the job. But I could enjoy the ride and the visits, with 2 hours or so at each of the destinations - and the driver made it clear the time the bus would depart each destination. Buy your ticket for the Konigstein fortress as you get on the bus, to save time queuing at the fortress.

Magnificent day ! Well organized, enough time at each stop. Too bad the activity is not offered in English. We didn't understand German but we still enjoyed the day. Magnificent decor even during transport.
