It's healthy to climb ...
... it’s also rewarded; because freedom lives on the mountains; An old saying goes like hiking as the most beautiful and most tolerable form of landscape encounter.
Saxon Switzerland is an ideal area for mountain hikes, which, in contrast to the high mountains on paved trails, via safe climbing facilities and without an impending change in weather, reward the delicious summit victory with a panoramic view, often stretched in a wide arc.
In contrast to the mountain climber, who traditionally climbs only the free-standing rock towers, the hiker reaches the same altitude, but can use his strength to start a route from the valley or the tour from the parking lot or the bus stop at the mountain shoulder. Especially the national park area offers, if you follow the simple rules of behavior, unimagined opportunities to encounter nature ....
