This tour is an excellent choice for those who want to spend a whole day paddling. You start the canoe trip through Saxon Switzerland at the fortress Königstein and pass the famous Bastei bridge. At the same time, you can admire the typical bizarre rock cliffs. A dreamlike day awaits you!
Tour programme
We meet directly on site in Königstein, where you can get your canoes and the rest of your equipment. A short briefing follows. Then we can get started. Depending on how fast you paddle, you will be on the Elbe for about 4-5h before reaching your destination, our canoe station. There you can give us your equipment back and take the S-Bahn back to Königstein. If you arrive by car, you can also leave your car at the canoe station (An der Wostra 7, 01259 Dresden) and take the S-Bahn (S1) to the starting point of the tour in Rathen.
