The first stop is the magnificent Bastei Bridge. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Elbe River Canyon from the stunning stone bridge perched high above the surrounding landscape. Do an easy hike along the Bastei Bridge and explore the Neurathen castle ruins, a reminder of the golden age of this medieval place. See the panoramic vistas, explore the trails, and climb rocks and stairs for the most spectacular views.
