Balcony of Saxon Switzerland with Mining Lodge on the Malerweg and National Park Information Point

Also known as the "Balcony of Saxon Switzerland", the Brand-Aussicht has been one of the most popular vantage points in Saxon Switzerland for over 250 years, even in winter.
The cool, clear air gives you wide views that are not available in summer. You have a clear view of the rocks, which, with a bit of luck, are covered with a thin layer of snow.

Beware, the cool air usually also brings snow and slippery conditions, in these weather conditions it is advisable to hire ice dodgers - for example from the Bad Schandau tourist service.

The National Park Information Point "Blockhaus"
is located directly at the view.
