Rathen with a view of the Elbe

The view of the Elbe and the Elbsandsteingebirge are really nice, if you do not bother with the many people.

June 28, 2024, Burg Hohenstein und Nationalpark Sächsische Schweiz

Short tour to Hohenstein Castle through the Saxon Switzerland National Park. 🤩 Due to the severe weather warning from the German Weather Service, I skipped the Bastei and decided to shorten the tour. As predicted, it really came down heavily from above and I was glad when I could sit comfortably in the Café am Hirschgrund with a farmer's breakfast and a shandy. The restaurant below the Bastei is highly recommended. From the terrace you have a fantastic view of the Elbe, the hosts are very nice and the food tastes very good.
