An inexhaustible abundance of bizarre rock formations, wooded, wild romantic gorges, and majestic table mountains with breathtaking views: All this is offered by the Malerweg.

Early on, painters and poets were especially magically attracted to the picturesque rock formations. The Malerweg, which can also be completed in individual day tours without a car, follows in the footsteps of famous Romantic painters like Caspar David Friedrich, Carl Gustav Carus, and Ludwig Richter. A dream tour through the fascinating rock landscape of the Elbe Sandstone Mountainsoffering great highlights directly on the way. The Malerweg leads over the most beautiful viewing platforms of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, the Bastei Bridge, and Königstein Fortress. Even the house of the well-known impressionist painter Robert Sterl and the historic Canaletto view in Pirna's old town are along the route, making the theme of art and nature tangible.
