Schomberg Tower Ruin (Schandau Castle Hill)

Highlight • Castle

The fantasy castle ruins, designed from the romantic notions of the 19th century, is definitely a nice detour. The signage explains which facilities actually existed in the area. The facility is located in the forest above Bad Schandau and is about a 45-minute walk from Altendorf via the Panoramaweg.

Kirnitzschtalbahn Tramway

Highlight • Structure

The wild and romantic valley of the Kirnitzsch - "valley of the mills" was developed for the felling of wood as early as the 16th century. Some parts of it can still be seen today and are very well described on the 9km long "Flößersteig" on approx. 100 information boards.
The tourist development began in the 18th century. The hikers here primarily wanted to experience the romantic nature. You can take the Kirnitzschtalbahn from Bad Schandau to the Lichtenhain waterfall. - An experience for the whole family.

Beautiful, sunny hike from the waterfall to the Elbe via the panorama trail ...

Very nice ascent from the Kirnitzschtal at the beginning, beautiful sections of the path in between (meadows and villages: Mitteldorf and Altendorf; here even with special highlights: Norwegian hut and Antonow …

April 22, 2023,Panoramaweg von Bad Schandau 😍

Today we walked the Panoramaweg from Bad Schandau. We managed the first 100 meters of altitude via stairs. Once at the top, a castle ruin from 1883 awaits us shortly afterwards. It goes a little further through the forest. Then through an allotment garden. After we leave the Schiller monument behind us, it begins with the magnificent 😍 panorama. We …

May 9, 2024,Lichtenhainer Wasserfall - Bad Schandau

The panorama trail, which I walked from Bad Schandau last year, was to be walked from the other direction today.
In the early morning we took the historic Kirnitzschtalbahn to the Lichtenhain waterfall, luckily it wasn't that busy yet so we had plenty of space. We then walked uphill to Lichtenhain. Via Mittelndorf we continued to Altendorf and we were …

February 20, 2025,Panoramaweg from Lichtenhainer Wasserfall to Bad Schandau

We got up „early“ today to have time for this hike before bringing some cake to grandma‘s for Kaffe und Kuchen. We followed the whole panoramaweg from the Lichtenhainer Wasserfall to Bad Schandau. The trail was beautiful and nearly always had an incredible view of the surrounding landscape.

October 5, 2024,🇩🇪 Sächsische Schweiz > Flößersteig - Lichtenhainer Wasserfall - Panoramaweg - Runde von Ostrau

The Flößersteig is an educational trail that runs 16 kilometers along the Kirnitzsch from Bad Schandau to the Neumannmühle. We walked a varied section of around 5 kilometers from the Ostrauer Mühle to the Lichtenhain waterfall.
We went back on the panoramic path high above the Kirnitzschtal, which lives up to its name.
To get back down to the Kirnitzschtal, …

October 29, 2024,Panoramaweg Bad Schandau

We took the bus to Lichtenhain and then walked back along the Panoramaweg to Bad Schandau. As it had rained a bit during the night and in the morning, there was still a lot of moisture in the forests and rocks. This gave the landscape a mystical touch at the beginning. Over the course of the morning, the sun broke …
