Discover Königstein Fortress

Our recommendation: daily from May

Immerse yourself in the enchanting landscape along the Elbe. The route from Stadt Wehlen to Königstein and back offers you a panoramic view of the majestic sandstone cliffs that rise along the shore and transform the valley into a magical backdrop. Marvel at towering sandstone formations like the world-famous Bastei.

After your arrival in Königstein, you have just under four hours to climb the fortress hill—on foot or by the Fortress Express. Explore the more than 750-year-old fortress, which towers high above the Elbe Valley, and immerse yourself in the fascinating history and architecture of this impressive landmark. From the imposing fortress walls, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Elbe Valley and the surrounding countryside.

Or you can simply hike in the beautiful surroundings of the town of Königstein.
before the steamer takes you back to the town of Wehlen.
