Bad Schandau

Among the towns of Saxony, Bad Schandau stands out for its position on the Elbe beside the sandstone tablelands of Saxon Switzerland. The town lies within the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, where the river has cut through a landscape of wooded slopes, cliffs and distinctive rock formations. Bad Schandau has long been associated with spa culture, while the Kirnitzschtal tram, in operation since 1898, follows the Kirnitzsch Valley towards the Lichtenhainer Waterfall. The nearby Saxon Switzerland National Park protects an extensive stretch of this unusual borderland landscape. See how Bad Schandau fits within Saxon Switzerland by browsing webcams nearby.
