The Panorama Path lives up to its name! Between the Kirnitzsch valley and the Sebnitz valley, the hike runs along a ridge. There are not only individual viewpoints but almost unique panoramic views along the entire trail! Once at the top, you cross the gently undulating surface of Lusatian granite, always with a view of the rugged rocky landscape of the Hintere Sächsische Schweiz and the many table mountains.

Directions

The route starts at the National Park station in Sebnitz and initially follows the red line through Sebnitz via the market to the local heritage museum, the Africa House, and the Caucasus Room, all of which are definitely worth a visit.

Then it continues along the red line towards Lichtenhain until you reach the Panorama Path, marked with a yellow dot.

From there, you follow the rest of the route along the yellow dot, first to Lichtenhain, then to Mittelndorf, and from Mittelndorf to Altendorf. From Altendorf, continue following the yellow dot to Bad Schandau, passing before that the Schiller View and Schiller Memorial as well as the old castle ruins of Bad Schandau, before the route ends at the Elbe quay in Bad Schandau, from where you can take the ferry back to the station.
