We cross the railway tracks and follow the \"Blue Line\" marking. Along this sign, a narrow path winds up to the Tanzplan (595 m). This is one of the highest mountains in the Schluckenau tip. Since 1905, there has been a lookout tower on the Tanzplan. Those who climb up will be rewarded with a wide panoramic view of Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland and the Upper Lusatian Highlands. The inn is closed in winter months – the tower is open year-round. The descent leads over forest paths towards Tomasov (Thomasdorf). We stay on the \"Blue Line\" marking. Before the village entrance Tomasov, our hiking trail branches off to the left. We follow this for about 1.5 kilometers until a path with the \"Green Line\" marking turns off to the right. We cross the German-Czech border and hike to the 496-meter-high Wachberg. From the terrace and the veranda of the \"Wachbergbaude\", there is a wonderful view into the Back Saxon Switzerland. Downhill, we follow the \"Red Line\" marking to Saupsdorf. This place is a small idyll characterized by half-timbered and Umgebinde houses. Here our hike ends and we take the hiking bus line 241 back to Bad Schandau." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2888351/588535fdbce4bf333f5478ace0a430c2b30af07bc18e8b46c14a99789efb4128/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Home > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Bad Schandau - Mikulasovice - Tanzplan - Wachberg - Saupsdorf - Bad Schandau ============================================================================ - 8.30 km long - Difficulty: medium - Condition: easy - Hiking - 2:20 h - 8.30 km - 215 m - 252 m - 342 m - 594 m - 252 m - - Start: Bad Schandau - National Park Station - Destination: Bad Schandau - National Park Station This route takes us through the Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland and offers us great views from two viewpoints into the charming surroundings.
