Painters' Way Hiking without Luggage

8 and 9 nights

One week is simply not enough – enjoy more time in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
With additional overnight stays, the stages become shorter and more relaxed, leaving more time to experience the impressive beauty of the rocky landscape at leisure. This makes the walking holiday an even more immersive nature experience.

Hiking through a winter wonderland

When the mist dances above the Elbe Valley, when hoarfrost adorns the meadows and forests, when snowflakes fall ever so gently onto the rugged sandstone and icicles hang from the roofs... This could be the beginning of a winter fairy tale – or your winter hiking tour in Saxon Switzerland! The latter is a rewarding travel destination even in winter. When it is bitterly cold outside, the trails are virtually deserted, offering you magnificent views of an enchanting winter landscape.
