Malerweg Saxon Switzerland

Walking holiday through rock formations and wide-open landscapes

The new main walking route through Saxon Switzerland was named in honour


of the many painters who discovered and painted this beautiful landscape.


Following in the footsteps of these painters and Romantics, including:


Bernardo Bellotto, known as Canaletto, Carl Gustav Carus, Johan Dahl, Caspar David Friedrich,


Anton Graff, Ernst Oehme, Ludwig Richter, Johann Thiele, Adrian Zingg, among others,


today the Malerweg is a classic and enticing walking route leading


to wildly riven rock formations, dramatic gorges, dense forests,


to streams in secluded valleys and to impressive table mountains,


rising from the plains, formed in the Cretaceous period many millions of years ago.


This wildly romantic landscape, like no other, now extensively protected


across 93 qkm of National Park, attracts visitors from all over the world and is criss-crossed by a dense,


well waymarked network of walking trails.


Linear walk with hotel-to-hotel changes, Malerweg total approx. 120 km
