One of the most beautiful hiking spots in Germany is without a doubt the Bastei, a jagged formation of sandstone rocks and cliffs jutting out of an Alpine-like area just south of Dresden.
In fact, the area is so unusually mountainous for Germany’s relatively flat north that is has been given the name “Saxon Switzerland” (Sachsische Schweiz).
