Schrammsteine

The Schrammsteine offers one of the more adventurous experiences in Saxon Switzerland National Park. To access some of the most spectacular viewpoints, such as the Schrammsteinaussicht, you’ll need to navigate steep paths that often involve climbing ladders and metal railings fixed to the rocks. While the effort adds a bit of thrill, it rewards you with sweeping panoramic views of the Elbe Valley and the surrounding sandstone peaks. These routes are not overly technical but are best suited for hikers comfortable with a bit of scrambling and heights. The full route takes about 2.5 hours and can be traversed by older kids who are able to climb on their own.
