Kirnitzsch River

Highlight • River

Magnificent landscape. Be sure to take the Flössersteig, which runs right next to the Kirnitzsch. It's more for sporty hikers, but it's really nice.

Sendig Fountain, Bad Schandau Market Square

Highlight • Monument

The fountain, built in 1896 and sponsored by Rudolf Sendig, gave the previously inconspicuous market a new look and marked the urban highlight of the city. The fountain earned Bad Schandau the title of the pearl of Saxon Switzerland.

Bad Schandau — Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The last major town on the Elbe Cycle Path heading towards the Czech Republic! Good infrastructure, so recharge your batteries there! The passenger elevator and the town center of Bad Schandau are definitely worth seeing. ☝️

Historic Passenger Elevator

Highlight • Monument

Great historical functional structure! My tip: follow the Elbe river to the lift, then go up and head towards the Kurpark with a stop at the viewpoint looking down into the Kirnitzsch valley.
