I was thinking about a short trip from Prague and realised that I’ve never been to Saxon Switzerland that is just slightly over and hour drive from Prague. So we have decided on a sunny summer Sunday to give it a go.

The Bastei is a rock formation towering 194 metres above the Elbe River in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains of Saxon Switzerland in Germany. Reaching a height of 305 metres above sea level, the jagged rocks of the Bastei were formed by water erosion over one million years ago.

It’s beautiful and definitely worth a visit.
