- Para quién: All ages

Ferry · 5 min · train to Bad Schandau and the Bastei · with the Elbe-Labe ticket

Hřensko is on the border, at the lowest point in Czechia, and across the Elbe Germany begins. A ferry crosses in five minutes to Schöna, where the commuter train that follows the river to Bad Schandau, Kurort Rathen and Dresden stops. From Kurort Rathen you climb to the Bastei, the stone bridge between sandstone towers that is the most photographed in Saxon Switzerland.
The Elbe-Labe day ticket is valid for trains, buses and the ferry on both sides. In season, steamboats also go down the Elbe from Děčín to Hřensko, Bad Schandau and Dresden. If you stay two nights at a participating accommodation, the DÚKpass gives you free Czech public transport in the region: ask your host.
