Pirna & Saxon Switzerland
The Heiterer Blick sits quietly at the forest edge above the Elbe and right by stage 8 of the Malerweg. From here you quickly reach Pirna’s old town, the Bastei or Königstein Fortress.
Distances
The landmark of Saxon Switzerland – spectacular rock formations above the Elbe.
The Bastei with its famous bridge is the landmark of Saxon Switzerland. From the viewing platforms you look out over the Elbe and the bizarre sandstone cliffs – a must on any visit to the region.
One of Europe’s largest hilltop fortresses – 750 years of history high above the Elbe.
Königstein Fortress sits atop a table mountain above the Elbe valley and ranks among the largest hilltop fortresses in Europe. Across the expansive grounds you experience 750 years of history and a magnificent panoramic view.
Baroque old town with market square, St Mary’s Church and the famous Canaletto motif.
Pirna’s lovingly restored baroque old town lies just about 1.8 km away. Stroll across the historic market square, visit St Mary’s Church (Marienkirche) and discover the scene that Canaletto once painted – only a short walk from your accommodation.
The famous hiking trail passes right by our property.
The Malerweg (Painters’ Way) is considered one of Germany’s most beautiful hiking trails. Stage 8 passes right by our property – so you start your hike directly on the doorstep, surrounded by nature at the forest edge above the Elbe.
