Beautiful meadow in Saxon Switzerland
The site is located at the top of Rauenstein, which offers a beautiful view, and is right next to hiking trails. There are always people around so you don't need privacy, but there is still some space for those who want it too. The facilities look like they were in the old East Germany, but they are still functional!1
What Hinterland writes
„In the heart of Saxon Switzerland directly at the Rauenstein, on the site of an old hikers' hostel is located on the edge of an old meadow orchard and the forest the beautiful campsite. Climbing rocks, hiking trails and stairs are within walking distance.“

Sights in the area1
Bastei
The well-known rock formation above the Elbe, with its narrow sandstone bridge strung between the pinnacles. The classic lookout of Saxon Switzerland, easily done in a morning.
Königstein Fortress
A sprawling clifftop fortress high above the Elbe valley, never taken. On wet days you move from casemate to casemate; on clear ones the view runs deep into the sandstone hills.
Malerweg
The long-distance trail through Saxon Switzerland, named for the Romantic painters who worked here. Walkable in day stages, the rock ladders included.
Dresden
About 25 kilometres downriver lies Dresden, with the Fürstenzug of Meissen porcelain and the Blue Wonder bridge over the Elbe. The city day, when the hiking is enough.
