These sandstone needles and bizarre cliff faces with strange conifers, primordial beech forests and deep-running streams have been a German National Park since 1990. Along with the winding Elbe River and a protected landscape of broad forests, meadows and fields beneath majestic, flat-topped, mesa-like mountains, they form the region of the Nationalpark Sächsische Schweiz (or "Saxon Switzerland" in English).
