About Bastei Bridge

The Bastei Bridge is a legendary sandstone bridge in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, a dramatic landscape that stretches along the border of Germany and the Czech Republic. This unique region is protected as a national park on both sides - Saxon Switzerland National Park in Germany and Bohemian Switzerland National Park in the Czech Republic. The bridge was built to connect massive sandstone towers that were shaped over millions of years by wind and water erosion. While the mountains here aren't the highest, they are famous for their spectacular rock spires, cliffs, and deep gorges. From the Bastei Bridge, visitors are treated to stunning views of the Elbe River and the surrounding forests, creating an unforgettable experience.
