The "Saxon Bastille" — an imposing fortress atop a flat-topped mountain above the Elbe. One of the most impressive fortress complexes in Europe, with a museum, panoramic views, and historical exhibits.
Take the free panoramic lift through the rock face — the glass elevator alone is an experience — then head to the eastern ramparts for the finest views in Saxon Switzerland, and peer down the 152-metre well.
One of Europe's largest hilltop fortifications — 9.5 hectares of history
Impregnable fortress that was never conquered in 750 years
152-metre deep well — deepest in Saxony, carved entirely from rock
Military museum with panoramic views over the Elbe Sandstone Mountains
