    Hiking

    The Schwedenlöcher (Swedish Holes) in Saxon Switzerland have approximately 700 steps. The hiking trail leads through a romantic rocky gorge, climbing a height difference of 160 meters. The Schwedenlöcher got their name during the Thirty Years' War, when residents of neighboring villages hid here with their belongings from the Swedes.
