Enjoy the “highlights of Saxon Switzerland” — with the perspective of the Elbe. Passing by Königstein Fortress with the Lilienstein opposite, you pass by the well-known bastion to finally re…
Steps of the tour
- You start at our berth in Königstein next to the ferry dock.
- We will wait for you at the berth at the agreed time and hand over the dinghy, the necessary equipment and - if you like - also the supply of food and drinks. After a short explanation or briefing, the paddling fun can begin!
- Right after the start in Königstein, you will sail directly past the historic Königsstein Fortress and the imposing Lilienstein. Königstein Fortress has been rising 240 meters above the Elbe for over 400 years and offers an impressive impression not only from an inflatable boat.
- On the opposite side of the Elbe, 415 meters high, the Lilienstein sits enthroned. The climb is worthwhile - a fantastic view over the Elbe Valley and a refreshment stop make up for the effort of the climb.
- The journey continues to the health resort of Rathen. A technical rarity awaits you at the entrance: the yaw rope ferry from Rathen. To get around, this ferry only uses the river Elbe. Here you also have a fantastic view of the idyllic spa town of Rathen - a visit is also worthwhile here!
- Immediately afterwards, the world-famous bastion with the unique Bastei Bridge rises across the Elbe. You can enjoy the fantastic view in peace and quiet and watch the hustle and bustle at the bastion.
- As you pass the imposing quarries - the “White Quarries”, you approach the historic “Welyn”, today's town of Wehlen. From here, it continues down the Elbe through a lovely river landscape towards Obervogelgesang with the Obervogelgesang inn.
- There you can eat and relax in the cozy beer garden or in the inn. The return or onward journey by S-Bahn is easily possible from Obervogelgesang station, which is 200 meters away.
