Saxon Switzerland National Park
Get informed and expand your knowledge - you can do both of these things in many ways in the national park. A visit to the national park centre in the city of Bad Schandau is a good way to get an initial overview of the area and the park.
By contrast, the smaller, local information points in the national park each concentrate
individual themes and are there to answer questions that may arise during your hike.
