Explore Saxon Switzerland National Park with Kids

Saxon Switzerland National Park, established in 1990, is one of Germany’s most dramatic natural landscapes. Located just south of Dresden, the park is divided into two sections within the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, an area famous for its towering rock formations and deep forested gorges.

The scenery rises sharply from the Elbe River valley, where calm waters wind through the countryside, to rugged peaks that reach up to 556 meters above sea level. Families can explore narrow rock passages, panoramic viewpoints, and the park’s iconic sandstone pillars that look like something from a fantasy world.

Whether you’re hiking through the rocky canyons or standing at one of the many cliffside overlooks, Saxon Switzerland offers an unforgettable outdoor adventure for kids and adults alike.
