An inexhaustible abundance of bizarre rock formations, densely wooded, wild and romantic gorges and majestic table mountains with breathtaking views: That is what the “Malerweg” trail in the national park of Saxon Switzerland has in store for you. And it is the reason why especially artists have been drawn to the picturesque rock formations from the start. Follow in the footsteps of famous Romantic painters like Caspar David Friedrich, Carl Gustav Carus, and Ludwig Richter. Experience the fascinating rock landscape of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains from its most picturesque side on this hiking trail so rich in tradition. And while doing so, be sure to enjoy the numerous sights like Pirna, a town painted by Canaletto, or the house of the impressionist painter Robert Sterl in Wehlen-Naundorf as well as the numerous welcoming taverns on the way.

Please note: Only marked paths may be accessed in the core area of the national park of Saxon Switzerland! Fines may be imposed in case of infringements.
Saxon Switzerland is connected directly to the Saxon capital Dresden via the motorway A17, the A-road B172 and the railway system of the Deutsche Bahn (German Railway, EuroCity railway track Hamburg - Dresden - Prague). Urban railways and coaches leave in short, regular intervals from Dresden – incorporating the airport as well – into the region. Small towns near the Elbe river can also be approached by the historic steamboats of the Sächsische Dampfschiffahrt company. The ride up the river may take a little bit longer but in turn provides you with an unmatched view of the landscape. The vast network of coach lines and urban railways in the region allows an easy journey to the starting point of the hike. Two bridges (Bad Schandau, Pirna) and foot passenger ferries (Schmilka, Bad Schandau, Königstein, the spa town of Rathen, Wehlen town, and Pirna) lead across the Elbe river.
Train: Pirna station
Coach: Central coach station – ZOB Pirna Information:
Guests that want to change their accommodations with each stage, have long-term car parks at their disposal. They are located at the Pirna car parks “Am Steinplatz” and at Ernst-Thälmann-Platz 2.
