It's healthy to climb... ... ... and it's rewarded, because freedom lives in the mountains; an old saying reminds us that hiking is the most beautiful and most agreeable form of encountering the countryside.
Saxon Switzerland is an ideal area for mountain hiking, which, in contrast to the high mountains, rewards the delicious summit victory with a panoramic view, often stretching over a wide arc, on paved paths, via safe climbing routes and without the threat of a change in the weather.
In contrast to mountaineers, who traditionally only climb the free-standing rock towers, hikers reach the same altitude, but can choose a route from the valley or start the tour from the car park or bus stop on the mountain shoulder, depending on their strength. If you follow the simple rules of behaviour, the national park area in particular offers undreamt-of opportunities for encounters with nature...
