Location and surroundings of object
The town of Königstein is located at the foot of the Königstein Fortress, directly on the Elbe River. The most beautiful excursion destinations of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains are easy to reach from here. Our holiday home is located in the immediate vicinity of the town centre and is nevertheless in a quiet location. The Malerweg leads directly past the house. The railway station, bus station, ferry, steamer landing stage and shopping facilities are all within easy walking distance.
You can start many hikes directly at the house, for example to the Königstein Fortress, to the Lilienstein, to the Pfaffenstein. Other destinations are easily accessible by S-Bahn, such as the Hintere Sächsische Schweiz, the Felsenbühne and Bastei in Rathen, also the state capital Dresden.
The location is also well suited for cyclists: The Elbe cycle path leads through Königstein, there are possibilities to rent bicycles in the village, the National Park has a well-developed network of cycle paths, and your bikes can be stored in our storage room.
You will find a children's playground a few hundred metres away in the town centre next to the church, and another one on the Elbe near the steamer landing stage.
The recreational possibilities are almost unlimited. First and foremost, there are a variety of hikes for every level of difficulty. Mountaineers will be drawn to the cliffs. The Saxon Steamship Company sails from Königstein in both directions with its historic paddle steamers. In summer, the Felsenbühne Rathen offers a varied theatre programme for young and old.
There are various railway worlds, indoor and outdoor. You can hire boats in Königstein and paddle down the Elbe. There is also an amusement park and a climbing garden in the town. In Bad Schandau, the Toskana-Therme invites you to swim, as do several outdoor pools in the area. A visit to the baroque city of Dresden is easy from Königstein by S-Bahn. You can cycle on the Elbe cycle path or on various cycle routes in the national park
The 118 kilometres of the Malerweg (Painters' Path) open up the most beautiful and spectacular parts of Saxon Switzerland for hikers. Its stages can also be completed from a fixed accommodation. They are easily accessible by public transport.

Highly recommended for hiking holidays and get-togethers with friends.
The holiday apartment was simple, but very lovingly and practically furnished, we felt very comfortable here. Contact with the landlord in advance was very uncomplicated, and we received great personal hiking tips on site. Detailed information material in the house. Best location for direct access to the hiking trails of Saxon Switzerland. On the weekend, we met with friends at the Landstreicher - as there is a special, very cozy group room, the accommodation is ideal for this. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back!
