Winter magic in Saxon Switzerland

Countless tales, legends and myths of mountain spirits, bush women, brave knights, simple farmers and unhappy love affairs are entwined around the rocky landscape.

But just as interesting are the true experiences from the hard lives of simple boatmen, master brewers and sandstone crushers.

Other stories take you into the glamorous world of successful hoteliers with grand visions and to the spa romances of the distinguished bathers who traveled along the Elbe in noble paddle steamers. Come with us on a journey into the past centuries and into the lives of the people of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains from days long gone.
