On day 6, the stage is marked by the untamed beauty of nature, although the winding streets of your destination, Bautzen, are also enchanting. Just before the end of your journey, a scenic highlight awaits you in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains of Saxon Switzerland. From Pirna, the final stage brings you back to Dresden, where you can reflect on the day with a view of the Semperoper and the Zwinger.

  • The Lusatian Lake District: Created from former open-cast mining areas, the lakes are a paradise for water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
