Malerweg in Saxon Switzerland

Hiking in Saxon Switzerland National Park

Impressions of the hiking tour 'Malerweg in Saxon Switzerland'
The new main hiking route through Saxon Switzerland received its name (the “Painters’ Trail”) in memory of the many painters who discovered and painted this beautiful landscape.

The Malerweg follows the traces of these painters and romanticists, some of whom are well-known: Bernardo Bellotto, known as Canaletto, Carl Gustav Carus, Johan Dahl, Caspar David Friedrich, Anton Graff, Ernst Oehme, Ludwig Richter, Johann Thiele, Adrian Zingg, and many more. Today it is a traditional and attractive hiking trail to wild, rugged rock massifs, terrifying gorges, dense forests, waterfalls in lush valleys and imposing table mountains that rise up from the levels that were created many millions of years ago, during the Cretaceous period.

This wild, romantic landscape, which in incomparable and now protected extensively with the 93 km² National Park, attracts visitors from all over the world and can boast a dense, well-signposted hiking trail network.

Long-distance, multi-stage hiking with alternating hotels. Malerweg total length ca. 115 km
