Hiking tour through Saxon Switzerland

Meeting Point: Dresden Central Station - Main Hall 09:15 am
(There we can help you purchase the right ticket.)
Departure: 9:29 am (Train track: 13)
Tour guides: PKS PhD students Boyi & Mark

When we arrive at our destination, we will take the ferry. The tickets for it must be bought separately, so please bring 3€ in cash. (The train ticket cannot be used).

The hike should take about 5 hours in total. In between there is a break at a bistro for some cool drinks and beautiful views.

The hike ends at the train station, from where you can return to Dresden by public transport.

Please bring suitable clothes and shoes (sneakers are fine), as well as enough water and some snacks. It will be a hot and sunny day, so remember to bring sunscreen if you need some.
