Weather tips
The hike leads to one of the most beautiful views in Saxon Switzerland with the opportunity to stop for refreshments.
This route is easy to navigate in a wheelchair, making it a popular hike for guests with limited mobility. The Brandaussicht is one of the oldest tourist destinations in Saxon Switzerland and is a worthwhile alternative to the even more frequented Basteiaussicht above the spa town of Rathen on the Elbe.

This tour is one of the easier hiking suggestions. The flat paths with a good surface and a few easy climbs should be manageable for sporty wheelchair users without assistance. There is a somewhat steeper incline to the rocky plateau of the Brandaussicht (assistance from a companion may be useful here) before you can enjoy an unrestricted view of the countryside. The Brandbaude restaurant right next to the viewpoint invites you to take a break. The historic log cabin right next to the Baude is home to a national park information point - which, like the inn, is barrier-free. For the way back, it is best to use the forest road from the approach. Alternatively, after approx. 1.2 km, you can also hike via the circular path running parallel to the west and then the new path - past a small pond. However, due to the somewhat rougher terrain, it is advisable to be accompanied by a guide.
