Rocks of Saxon Switzerland

Saxon Switzerland is an alpine rather low oversea climbing area and national park very near the cultural and technological center of Dresden in the state of Saxony, Germany. It continues as Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic where it meets the Giant Mountains.


Saxon Switzerland alone has some one thousand peaks that have never been climbed, even though the area is rather popular not only among Dresden climbers but internationally. There are also several hollows and lakes.


The administrative district for the area is Sächsische Schweiz. The fortress of Königstein is a well-known landmark.
