School trip to Saxon Switzerland

About this school trip

Saxon Switzerland (Sächsische Schweiz), also known as the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, lies in the far south-east of Germany, half an hour from Dresden. It is Germany's only rocky national park outside the Alps, a strange world of sandstone formations with around 1,200 kilometres of waymarked trails. It is the perfect place to bring lessons on geology and the shaping of landscapes to life.

Well-known highlights include the Bastei with its famous bridge, the Schrammsteine and the Festung Königstein, all on the Malerweg hiking trail. As many paths are steep and rocky, we recommend choosing routes in advance that suit the age and fitness of your pupils, and making sure everyone has proper footwear.

We are happy to take care of the transport to Saxony for you and your pupils. For this faraway destination you travel safely and comfortably in our coach with experienced drivers, so everyone starts the walks feeling fresh.
