Trip report by BestHike editor Rick McCharles
I’ll bet you’ve never heard of the Schrammsteine rock formation close to Dresden.
Located in Saxon Switzerland National Park on the eastern German border.
Click PLAY or get a glimpse on YouTube.
Though it’s a long, strung-out, jagged rock formation, most hikers head up to this view point at a height of 417.2 m.
There are many ways up, however. I doubt you could easily get lost.
Be psyched for many ladders and some scrambling. No exposure, however. Typically you are wedged into the rock.
I came to this National Park for the much more famous, nearby Bastei Bridge hike. But I’d say Schrammsteine is equally good.
And I had the view point to myself while nearby Bastei is thronged with tourists.
