With the circular route "Boundless Hiking" the border between Saxony and Bohemia is crossed not only figuratively. The hiking route, along its path on both sides of the border, is a symbol of the connection between the areas on the Saxon and Bohemian sides. It opens up cooperation regarding the joint expansion of tourist infrastructure and marketing, making it a pilot project with a vivid example of lively collaboration in practice.

On narrow mountaineering paths, partly exposed and with short climbing sections, the route goes to the Bastei and then to the rather meager Amselfall. From there back. Heavy tourism only at the Bastei and the path to Amselfall.

    Haben diese Tour bei bestem Wetter absolviert. Es war alles sehr schön und erholsam. Besonders beeindruckend ist die Basaltwand der Orgelpfeiffen - schwer beeindruckend. Leider hapert es ab und an bei der Ausschilderung des Weges. Aber die ausgedruckte Karte half über diese Manko. Tour empfehlenswert für Wanderer jeden Alters!!!
